Looks like a kernel problem.

noapic is a decent workaround. I have another report about this board where the reporter found out that the problem went away after upgrading to the latest bios AND switching the MPS setting in the bios from 1.1 to 1.4 (or the other way around).
Changing the MPS setting in BIOS from 1.4 to DISABLE solves the problem completely. Thanks for all the help.
Ok I'm closing this as "NOTABUG", it's a NOTOURBUG but that doesn't exist ;) Please reopen this bug if this comes back
