Looking at the Biostar pages I am still not completely convinced that your CPU/MB combo is supported. At least it is not listed there. So far TA770 A2+ SE, rev. 6.X, is listed. Did the Biostar folks confirm you that your mobo model/revision is supported, too?

Looks good so far.

This reminds me of some system hangs with older kernels when C1E was activated.
Can you please try to boot with idle=poll, or idle=mwait, or nolapic_timer when using 2.6.26.X? Can you also try to boot .27 or .28?
Thanks,
Andreas
