Well, now I'm stunned.
With APIC and ACPI enabled, my machine isn't even able to boot completely, it'll most certainly crash before the init scripts are finished.
Now, I modified the init scripts to do "athcool off" as the first thing at all (I don't have any "CPU disconnect" BIOS setting) and it not only booted, but I even can't seem to make it crash using my hdparm/grep/whatever tests...
I don't know if it's "rock solid" yet, but at least the difference is huge. It really seems like that made the problem go away!
