 Hi,
 
 I see this problem on a recently installed SMP machine. It is built 
 around the Elitegroup DV6AA motherboard, twin P3-800mhz CPU's.
 I have tested with and without APM enabled in BIOS/Kernel, in all 
 possible combinations.
 The problem does not occur immediately, but only after the machine has 
 been running for a few minutes. Depending on the load (esp. IDE disk 
 I/O) it will happen sooner or later (later with less load).
 
 To those suggesting to replace the hardware:
 THIS IS NOT AN OPTION!!!
 I cannot believe that anyone can be so blatant as to suggest that people 
 should replace hardware that has worked very well in the past and/or 
 works perfectly with whatever else they throw at them.
 Sorry. Had to vent that.
 
 I will continue trying various combinations of system timing, timing 
 methods, BIOS settings, and hardware.
 
 Best regards,
 /Eirik Oeverby
