So, if you have no troubles can you tell do you have smp kernel with
apic and what distribution you are using?

On my configuration I have dual core intel xeon 30xx series with
SMP and APIC kernel (i386 distribution). This issue appears just after
system boots up.

If you have non-smp kernel can you try to recompile it with smp and
apic support?

p.s. motherboard asus p5m2/2gbl

I have two boxes with onboard bge, one using 5780, the other 5701. Neither
of them has your problem. I think there may be some problems with your
software or hardware configuration.
