I experienced similar problems on a dual Athlon system (MSI K7D
Master-L motherboard, AMD 760MPX chipset, dual Athlon MP 2200+) which
is barely a couple of months old.  I ended up reverting to RELENG_5_1.
With -CURRENT, both UP and SMP kernels will crash with symptoms which
suggest hardware trouble.  With RELENG_5_1, UP is rock solid (knock on
wood) while SMP crashes within minutes of booting.  I've run out of
patience with this system, so I'll keep running RELENG_5_1 on it until
someone manages to convince me that -CURRENT will run properly on AMD
hardware (maybe around 5.3 or so...)

Now, my shiny new 2.4 GHz P4, on the other hand...  *drool*
