Ok, on my machine there's a compilation running since I found a nice little difference in arch/x86_64/kernel/nmi.c between 2.6.8 and 2.6.9 which could be releated to our problem. So I'll try out that and then anyway I'll try out the old BIOS 1.04, even if we never recommended that because of the problems with older kernels.
Ok, I tried both things out: Changing nmi.c to didn't help at all, kernel is still crashing. Changing the BIOS to the 1.04 version didn't help either. So whatever Tyan did in their BIOS, it didn't find its way into our BIOS. Anyway, my next try is with an original BIOS from Tyan, even if that means that I probably need to program the flash memory chip directly. But that I'll try out next week...
