For what it's worth, I had *precisely* this problem on a brand-new
AMD-760MPX motherboard last week.  This is also a dual-CPU board with only
one CPU installed.

Removing "agp" from the kernel config fixed things.  Maybe the problem is
related to agp and dual-processor boards -- or maybe it's due to agp and
the lack of an agp card and a configured AGP aperture?  I have the AGP
aperture configured to size "0" in my BIOS, which doesn't seem to bother
any other operating system...
