I'm an idiot, I have a 440GX (not B) chipset, as shown by lspic:

Just to follow up here, it's still not working for me with 2.5.70-bk6,
it hangs on bootup when I have UP compilied in, along with "Local APIC
support on uniprocessors".
And since I haven't been able to get 2.5.x to run in the past (though
admittedly I was always using SMP builds) I can't tell you when this
got broken.
Here's the output of /proc/version and interrupts from my currently
working 2.4.x SMP setup:
> cat /proc/version

Here's the output from what I can boot 2.5.70-mm3 in UP mode with APIC
turned off, notice how all my devices are on Interuppt 11, and that my
Cyclom-Y ISA serial board isn't detected properly. The driver sorta
finds it, but can't get an interrupt properly.

Hopefully this will help people who know more than I about APIC stuff
to debug this. I'm willing to try out patches, now that 2.5.70-mm3
seems have a pretty solid RAID1 setup. Which I'll test a bit more
tonight.
