Bug#504655: via-velocity panic: fixed in 2.6.30
I have an SN10000EG rev.A1 which suffered the same problem when
installing Lenny.
(System locks up, no response from keyboard, caps-lock and scroll-lock
flashing. Booting with pci=noacpi or avoiding bringing up GbE prevent
the problem.)
I compiled[1] 2.6.30 and this problem went away. I haven't attempted
to find out which commit fixed the problem but could be persuaded to
investigate git-bisect if it's important. Kernel compile takes around
an hour.
The "eth0: excessive work at interrupt." still occurs if I flog netcat
in both directions at once (~22MiB/sec).
I hope this is useful,

[1] This was "v2.6.30" from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
plus Juerg Haefliger's c7temp patch at
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2008-June/023456.html
(from which I've yet to see data),
compiled with "make-kpkg --initrd ..."
