Hi,
just jumpin' in: I too have an Atom-based machine which runs *rock
solid* with ''noapic'' as parameter, and crashes without.
However, I've got another machine based on exactly the same hardware
(board, CPU, memory, HD, everything) and the same BIOS config -- running
flawlessly without the parameter given.

My impression was that it was not load (I tortured both machines running
BOINC for a few weeks) but traffic. Thus, I suspect the (on board) NIC
to be a bit... crappy (IIRC it was Realtek)? I've always wanted to test
it with a reasonable NIC.
