If anyone else has this problem, see here for work-around:

Tyan had a bios update, but it didn't fix the problem... I have to use the
workaround.

> Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000055f9

> Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

>  <bunch of code junk>
> Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
> In interrupt handler - not syncing
