Now I've booted with pci=noacpi, and so far it seems to be working. I'll let it run overnight with the X screensaver on to see if it cares to lock up. Then I'll try the nolapic and noapic options. Then I'll figure out what to try next. I looked in the BIOS but did not see any options for fine tuning timing or slices. I'll look again next time I reboot. How should I manipulate slices or timing if I find that capability? And no, I'm not overclocking, at least not intentionally :). Thanks for the questions.
