Hi,

you must have something very basic done the wrong way.

I would suggest to upgrade that box to 6.1.

You need then a systematic approach.

Run the GENERIC kernel and see what happens there.

Then take all out you believe you do not need and see what happens then.

Finally, switch to SMP and start the fine tuning.

Do not use HT as it should slow down the machine.

If even the first step fails, check the connections including the 
network card if it is one.
