Hi Magnus,
First up, can you make sure you have the latest 2.4.27-2-686,
that is 2.4.27-8, not 2.4.27-7 which had a small apic patch missing
that mayed a lot of hardware go haywire.
Secondly, after you have done that, and if things aren't happy
on 2.4.27-8, then can you try booting with acpi=off.
If it still isn't happy could you please send your dmesg output.
