Thanks -- this will probably be helpful to other folks, not so much me. :-) I lack familiarity with I/O and local APIC configuration. The error strings in question aren't shown in the attached text file, strangely enough. Maybe only visible on VGA console? Based on what I can find in Intel specifications, bit 6 (0x40) of the ESR is defined as: Bit 6: Receive Illegal Vector Set when the local APIC detects an illegal vector (one in the range 0 to 15) in an interrupt message it receives or in an interrupt generated locally from the local vector table or via a self IPI. Such interrupts are not be delivered to the processor; the local APIC will never set an IRR bit in the range 0 to 15. I got this from Section 10.5.3 of Intel's IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Volume 3A: http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/manuals/253668.pdf The motherboard looks like a Supermicro X7SBA or something along those lines (I can tell from the ACPI string). A workaround might be to disable multiprocessor support in the BIOS (specifically Advanced -> Advanced Processor Options -> Core-Multi-Processing = Disabled). If this does work, note that I agree it's not an acceptable permanent solution.
