Sorry for the late answer, I didn't see your reply for some reason :-(

I compiled and installed the stable vanilla 2.6.28 kernel from 
kernel.org, as you suggested. Since I am not very accustomed with the 
kernel's compiling options, I used the old kernel's .config file.

The problem stays the same with the new kernel. Normal boot --> freeze, 
boot with maxcpus=1 --> works, uname-a shows new kernel. Seems to be a 
general problem with this CPU. Or does anyone happen to have another 
idea for a solution?
