Yeah I tried that patch. It simply emulates adding notsc to the command
line. However there was a thread on LKML between Andi Kleen and the
provider of this patch and Andi indicated he wasn't convinced that this
fixes the bug, but simply masks the real bug. For now I'm sticking with
the notsc option until they figure out more details.

I haven't tried it yet but will later when I go to the data center.
You might want to try it and let me know if it actually fixed the
problem.

Mizery loves company. I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem.

I have the exact same problem on a ASUS A8N-SLI Premium board and
Athlon64 4800+ X2 with every BIOS up to 1008-01. Running with notsc
is the only way to get it to work.
As an aside BIOS version 1008-003 is available for this board however
this one seems to be WAY worse as the board won't even boot. It gets
panics before the boot messages unless you boot with noapic and after
that it gets checksum errors on the RSDP. I'm afraid to see what the
next official BIOS version does. :/

Got a dual core Athlon 64 X2 on an Asus board using NVidia chipset

messed up. I've scanned google for a solution and see others
complaining about bad code in the SMM BIOS. I have the latest bios
and whatever they need to fix - isn't.
So - what do I do to make it work?
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5105
On the kernel command-line:
x86_64: try "notsc"
i386: try "clock=pit"
"nosmp" works but isn't fun.
