Disable power management in your BIOS. Also, I recommend disabling it in
the kernel as well. I had this exact same problem last year, and had to do
that. I don't recall if it absolutely had to be disabled in the kernel or
if I did that just to be on the safe side, but do it just to be on the safe
side :)
Comment out "Device apm0" in your kernel config (here's the relevant bit
from my config)
# Power management support (see LINT for more options)
# device apm0 at nexus? disable flags 0x20
# Advanced Power Management
# Disable due to microuptime() issue last year
