It probably was a combination of the other measures mentioned in my mail then. I have (had) the same problems, and one has to completely avoid the local APIC it seems. Passing noapic and disabling APIC Mode in the BIOS did not do that (2.6.0-test3 + acpi20030730).
> "noapic" (note: no "l") might very well fix your board, but that's see above. noapic had no effect on the freezes. On boot it still said "found and enabling local APIC" and the system freezes within minutes when I push data across the network. Just after compiling a kernel with absolutely no APIC stuff compiled in, it worked... Note that the nmi_watchdog was not triggered by the freezes, and that seems to run via the APIC, too.
> acpi=off or pci=noacpi might also fix the board, if ACPI is busted. ACPI works fine, when using at least acpi20030730. Without ACPI the interrupts are not assigned OK, as e.g. the onboard 3com NIC does not work (at least here).
