As it turned out, the oopses are not correlated with the bank interleaving. I can turn the feature on and off and system stability remains the same (which is good enough to write this mail under X and compile a kernel). The other features that this BIOS upgrade (Award v. 2.9) includes are (from the MSI site):
-Add Bank Interleave item in the BIOS Chipset setup -Adjust Vcore Voltage Sensitivity on Hardware Monitor -Show CPU L1 and L2 cache size -Don't Display Ghz for AMD K7 CPU -Fixed that WD WD400BB-00AUA1 HDD fail in FDISK with nVidia Geforce2 AGP Card
In fact I do have a nVidia Geforce2 card. Another hypothesis is that the last fix, also fixes the oopses.
Tomorrow I will flash the BIOS back to 2.7 and see if I get the system back to the previous, unstable state.
