ok, my bad on this one, 3 of the machines had different motherboards which
I didnt notice till now. I buy them with assembled to my spec, but I guess
they slipped in something I didnt notice :(

Anyway, the mb is an ASUS tusi-m with the 630et chipset. The bios is also
the latest one (1011), so no upgrade path available there. I am going to
try stable on these and see if that clears up this issue.

If it is a driver issue, who can I work with to get this resolved?
