The fact that Rodrigo fixed this by using the "noapic" boot option led me to do some more reading into APIC, and I am convinced that there is a reasonable chance that this problem is due to poor APIC support on my motherboard, which, if true, could also validate Miravlix' theory.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to test the noapic option as my board is away on RMA. I will be testing this when it returns. I've read that other users, having disabled apic on their boards, were able to reenable it after a bios update. I have also learned that in time, many great things come from the able kernel team.
