Looks like your BIOS settings are a bit wonky... I've seen this after I 
accidentally shafted a board by fiddling with the video settings and had 
to subsequently zero the bios with the jumper... Go in and check the clock 
multipliers, etc.

FWIW: my test machine is a very old:

model name      : VIA Samuel 2
cpu MHz         : 533.377
cache size      : 64 KB

and the "production" machine is:

model name      : VIA Esther processor 1000MHz
cpu MHz         : 997.560
cache size      : 128 KB

I'm running Debian sarge as the base, with a stick kernel compiled 
statically for the hardware. I also compile asterisk & zaptel from sources 
then hand-craft (with the aid of some scripts!) this into a compressed 
initrd and put it all on a 64MB IDE flash drive which subsequently loads 
entirely into RAM and runs from there. (I have a 2nd 64MB flash drive for 
voicemail storage) Output of df -h:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/ram0             124M   70M   55M  57% /
tmpfs                 125M     0  125M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdc2              60M   16K   60M   1% /data

The board has 256MB of RAM fitted, so 128MB for the ramdisk and 128MB for 
run-time. Who needs fancy embedded stuff these days ;-)
