Since I'm of a rather impatient nature I must admit not having waited a
full 15 Mins (more like 15 Seconds ;-) to check whether the system would
come up again. But I'll try right away.

Sadly I have no possible setting in my MB's BIOS regarding the
APIC-feature, so I had to disable IO-APIC in the boot-options. The card
then had IRQ 11 (before 58) assigned and the rest just seemed to work
the same ways as with APIC enabled. But as soon as I dialled a number
the system froze again.
So, in short: no difference

I guessed so. But anyway I plan on setting up a serial connection and
log every single byte, I swear ;-)
