Damn.  I just thought I solved it.  I disabled the APIC and tried again.
 This time round I managed to re-enable APIC in the kernel source
(without IO-APIC) and _recompile_ it entirely.  Only upon issueing "make
install modules_install" did it pop.

Sequence was something like:

echo mem > /sys/power/state
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make menuconfig
echo mem > /sys/power/state
make menuconfig
--> re-enable APIC but not IO-APIC
make
make install modules_install
->> pop.  When copying the image from the source directory to /boot.

This is beginning to sound more and more like some obscure
race-condition if you ask me.
