I updated this BIOS, and now I get this. I tried apic=debug, but it balked at it.
Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range
Unknown genapic `apic=debug' specified.
..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC

It only boots into the old kernel (Linux Char.ICS.local 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5.028stab053.6 #1 SMP Mon Feb 11 20:14:31 MSK 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) with noapic. USB devices don't work once it finishes booting.
