I also had problems on an DUAL-AMD board, and also with a single AMD board (SMP kernel though). It works without problems in a P-IV board though. I compiled my kernels for Athlon target, and the P-IV for the P-IV processor specifically. I wonder if using a generic x386 kernel would fix something... Let me know what you find out!
