That is, without "noapic" but *with* firewire_ohci?  Good.
Avoid using that option if you don't need to.

The fingers seem to point to firewire_ohci or "noapic".

That firewire stack is new, so a bug there is very believable.

Changing IRQ routing by not using the APIC is probably closest
to the root cause of the problem.

As Alan noted, it's not uncommon that fixing one bug uncovers
new problems.  With three factors uncovered *so far* with this
problem, the root cause still not clear to me.  But I'd guess
it relates to the way you disabled APIC IRQ routing.
