Whoa!
I have no problems running my system on the normal GENERIC kernel. You
look like you got a broken CPU#0, or rather the cache on that card. Have
you tried another CPU as CPU#0?

My problems only start when I try MP.

It would be interesting if you got the system running, by the way. My
machine gets the clock frequency wrong, and I wonder if that is true for
other 2100-systems as well.

Otherwise you have a much nicer hardware setup than me. You don't happen
to have one or two CPUs extra? :-)
