A second reply mentioning apic and lapic. I'm beginning to feel
optimistic here. Hopefully Saturday will come and go without it locking up.

So, yes, those can REALLY mess you up if your computer is sensitive to it.
(Note to self – next time someone is having trouble with lockups, ask
them about apic and lapic!)
Gag – this is going to come from my NEW email address, which is still
the same computer, company, and all that, but it’s a different domain
now. So it won’t get posted.
Oh, well. Time to go fix my email address here on plug…

You might remember over the last 8 or 10 months, I've had problems
with this beast locking up at random. Over the weekend I was trying
to figure out how to set the console to a higher resolution so I could
get more on the screen. I also stumbled across the settings for
kernel parameters. In there was spalsh apic and lapic. I looked up
what these did and decided to try changing them to noapic and
nolapic. Then I rebooted. The console resolution was fixed and for 3
days now, the machine hasn't locked up. Has anyone heard of these
apic settings causing problems if they are enabled?
