For what its worth, I had a lot of problems on the I865P board, and It boiled down to memory corruption. The machine had lots of "random" crashes, meanng that they were not occuring when I do something specific. The machine startted to panic as soon as the load got high. I took out the memory, and placed it into another slot and the machine is cruising along happily now. The other questions is what is the date of the -CURRENT tree that is giving this problems? I can recall quite a few problems, which were fixed, that could cause this problem.
