How would you define 'cpu1 locks up', i.e. how have you verified that
this is indeed the case? Is it something like 'if two processes
are started, the 2nd one should run on cpu1 but it never does'?

Unfortunately it is hard to tell what the problem is here without
any debugger output. This problem is also not known to me, and
I can't reproduce it myself (on my dual Athlon Tyan board, used
for my desktop).

For the X problem, you could try to set some more conservative
AGP settings in the BIOS, but I'm grasping at straws there.

If you think cpu1 may be dodgy, try to rule out hardware failure
by replacing it with another one. Or exchange the CPUs on one
board.
