I read somewhere that on your nforce chipset board you should disable either apic or acpi.

.. It is definitely improving though as I work my way through various kernel/driver/framebuffer issues. I'm getting there slowly.
By and large, regular lockups (i.e. kernel panic/oops, not just X getting its knickers in a twist) only happens on:
1. faulty hardware
2. incorrect BIOS settings
3. new/exotic hardware
I once installed Linux on a machine that had been running Windows 95 (This was some time ago, maybe about Linux 1.2). I was getting a kernel oops a couple of times a day. It turned out to be overly aggressive memory timings in the BIOS. Nobody had noticed on Windows 95 - crashes were "normal".
