If you're using an AMD K7 cpu you probably want to disable athlon power saving with athcool in case your board (like both my boards (epox boards btw)) enables it by default.
OTOH I specifically *enabled* it with "athcool on" (which implies ACPI is on) and it never gave me a problem. And know what? I also have (apparently) local APIC irq routing enabled:

I have the usual dxr3 problems but *never* a complete lockup (crossing fingers). Usually I can either restart vdr by blindly pressing the remote keys, or wait for the vdr timeout to kick in. Very rarely I have to login to the vdr machine and issue a "killall -KILL vdr", but even in those cases vdr happily restarts.
