you shouldn't have to make changes in the kernel in order to successfully overclock a machine.
that said you're no likely to get much sympathy on this list for trouble-shooting a problem resulting from overclocking.
the supermicro p6dlh is a 440lx based mainboard and was never desgined to run faster than 66mhz at all, the fsb speed you have set would result in among other things 42mhz pci bus on a board that 9 pci slots(5 primary 4 bridged secondary)! The fact thatit worked at all for anyone ever is kinda impressive, but I wouldn't let that disuade you from returning it to normal(assuming that possible) before trying to use it.
