Any chance to build and run a more recent kernel on it, to see whether this issue still occurs? The latest APIC code is at:
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README
And i suspect you should pick up the Knoppix .config and build with that to reproduce this issue. A digital picture of the panic would be useful as well.
