I can confirm this on a similar system with an AMD64 and a VIA VT8251 southbridge on i386 hardy beta. So this affects both i386 and amd64 builds.
I also note the output of dmesg contains an "APIC error on CPU0: 0(0)" as the above mentioned error repeats itself before each qc timeout, but this does NOT show up in the startup lines.
