     Please mail me a dump of your MP-table and the rest of APIC bits. You
    should be able to get these from the kernel log using `dmesg -s 32768'
    after a bootup. Use the "noapic" kernel parameter, to avoid a crash and
    be able to get the log.

     I suspect your MP-table provides a bogus APIC ID for the I/O APIC and the
    current ID available from the chip itself is unusable as it collides with
    one of CPUs (the designer of your BIOS should be shot if that's true!). I
    may prepare a workaround but I need to be sure this is really the case.
