Just as a point of info; i have had these lockup probs too. Have a MSI K7N2 with nVidia TNT2 vidcard. Using kernel 2.6.0-test9.
When i run mldonkey (file sharing) the box will lock up solid after a random amount of time in X no matter what combo of ACPI / no ACPI, PIO / UDMA. Sometimes the mouse pointer keeps moving for up to ~30 sec before it too freezes. During this interval there's no ATA activity and i can reboot the box with SysReq key combos. If i wait until the mouse freezes then the box is completely locked and the SysReq keys don't work anymore.
HOWEVER, if i adjust the process priority of mldonkey to -20, then the box doesn't lock up anymore with ACPI and local APIC enabled and will keep running forever and even burn DVD or CD's while playing a video rip while compiling something. There's the sporatic ~1 sec freeze when mldonkey grabs the whole CPU but it always comes back.
regards,
