I'm sorry, but I forgot again something. The first story happened after I replaced my old motherboard, without reinstalling the system. The second case happened much earlier with the motherboard I replaced. I had just to install the system in with the alternate CD and remove powernowd before/very soon after the graphical environment was loaded. That would stop it from freezing and APIC could be re-enabled. After I updated the BIOS of the M2NPV-VM I could enable APIC again and install powernowd without problems. I filed bug 85370 to report this.
