As an update I have discovered the possible reason for the flood of "APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)" messages and detailed it in an associated bug: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/66900
Essentially the ohci1394 needed to be removed, which seems to point at a problem with firewire.
