I couldn't find it in my config, so I googled:
http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/LBD.html  That does look like the
most likely problem.

If at all possible try to get a good dmesg capture of a new kernel,
you might want to explore using netconsole to log via UDP to a remote
system.  Chances are good it's just some chipset/driver issue; I
remember having problems with a lack of timer for some boards; either
forcing it to use the older style timer or using a patched bios which
properly setup the HPET (timer) resolved the issue.
