lucky... I had my server at hand just now.  This is what I'd used
before to try and sort out a flaky server (I really doubt it is the
same problem) working though the combinations might tell you some
thing?:

report_lost_ticks  (this wasn't the default when I used it on openSUSE10.2)
mce=bootlog
apic=debug (then off)
apm=off
maxcpus=1 (then 2,3,4)

HTH?
