Well, if I disable SMP, I seem to be going in the right direction as
the machine no longer locks up.

Well, I'm obviously very unlucky since I have an Asus P4C800 Deluxe and get the
same thing! The message is:
Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode
instruction pointer = 0x58: 0x2d5c
stack pointer = 0x10: 0xf80
frame pointer = 0x10: 0x0
code segment = base 0xc00f000, limit 0xffff, type 0x1b

processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 0 (swapper)
trap number = 0
