This sounds like hardware, but it could be a bug related to your
particular system. Do you get there errors if you boot with ACPI
disabled? What about with SMP disabled?
I've disabled SMP with the kern.smp.disabled=1 sysctl and I'll see what
happens next. Strangely though the kernel seems to think the system has
only one cpu despite it being hyperthreaded:
# sysctl -a | grep cpu
kern.threads.virtual_cpu: 1
kern.ccpu: 1948
kern.smp.maxcpus: 1
kern.smp.cpus: 1
hw.ncpu: 1
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_supported: C1/0
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C1
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_usage: 100.00%
machdep.cpu_idle_hlt: 1
# sysctl -a | grep machdep.hlt_logical_cpus
(no results)
# dmesg | less

I'll try disabling ACPI if I have to reboot the server once more.
You'll need to get a debug kernel and produce a traceback for us to have
any chance of doing anything for you. See the kernel debugging chapter
of the Developers Handbook for info:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html
I'll do that. Thanks a lot for the help
