Have you tried a kernel with / without APIC_IO ? (also booting with / without ACPI) It seems that some of the new multicore bios's don't do this correctly - my Acer F1000 (athlon64 x2) would work if SMP and not APIC_IO but not with both.. There was some discussion about this a while back somewhere..
