So, if you have no troubles can you tell do you have smp kernel with
apic and what distribution you are using?

On my configuration I have dual core intel xeon 30xx series  with
SMP and APIC kernel (i386 distribution). This issue appears just after system boots up.

If you have non-smp kernel can you try to recompile it with smp and
apic support?

p.s. motherboard asus p5m2/2gbl
