Ahhh ... which kernel is that?  2.6.17-1.2187?  I've had lockups with
that kernel on 5 out of the 6 Athlon64 systems I manage - typically
about 30-60 seconds after a login screen appears. Booting to text
screen and/or disabling APIC make no difference.

Try booting to the older kernel to see if the problem persists. If
you're worried about kernel exploits, you might try the latest kernel
from the FC6 stuff.
