Subject: early exception error

I'm trying to upgrade a older dual opteron box to a current 64 bit system, 
but I'm getting early exception errors from several different kernels

I tried the ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 disks, and then I decided to try hunting 
it down myself, so I took my 2.6.25 32 bit config copied it to a 64 bit 
system and did a make oldconfig with 2.6.28 and am getting the same type 
of error (the address changes from kernel to kernel and config to config 
on the same kernel)

doing a grep through System.map for the address that appears in the error 
returns nothing

attached are snapshots of the screen when the error happens and two 
different configs with the same error (I tried disabling high-res timers, 
tickless operation, and PAT, but got the same error), the 28 image is the 
-2 config.

where do I go from here to track this down?
