I would try disabling USB 2.0 and the sound in the BIOS if you are not
using them. Also, try commenting out
#device apic # I/O APIC
in your kernel.
On my machines, I can easily cause an interrupt storm by making a hardware
device fire an interrupt that is not handled by the OS. Not sure if it
will help you, but its worth a shot.
