If any of those below help you, please do not forget to inform about this or add your hardware to the list below.

At least this hardware is known to be faulty/have problems with it:

• HP DL140G3 (OpenVZ Bug #514)

APIC problems

Some nvidia chipsets are known to have buggy APIC. In this case user can experience different strange problems like crashes/hangs on boot, or peripheral device problems (like non-working ethernet adapter)

Try boot your kernel with 'noapic' option.
