Just for reference I am running QQ original since late Feb. Currently
with 2.2.16pre3 (but with various other 2.2.x), always with 'noapic'.
I've had one lockup in that time, with longest uptime of 45 days or
so (ended voluntarily!). Since getting somewhat stable, I've come to
find that a new IDE drive (hda with root) I installed at the same time
as the BP6 was getting subtle corruption which was previously masked
by the frequent lockups. So maybe the one lockup was due to this, hard
to say.

Never seen this.

Never seen this either.

I don't trust Abit BIOSes. They don't really even acknowledge any
major fixes in QQ AFAICT. I am wondering if they just got lucky.
