You don't need to run an MP kernel on that machine any more. With a recent, -current GENERIC will work.

Hey Predrag, On 17-Jan-2009 Predrag Punosevac wrote: Aron Tsu that Opera was locking on bsd.mp. Thanks for the reference: this was my reply, and I still encounter it. In my experience this is more systematic problem. In the past couple of weeks, I installed several different linux binaries. Locks, hangs, even a core dumps were regularly occuring on bsd.mp kernel while applications were running rock solidly on bsd kernel. Unfortunatelly, I do not have a fix but at least I wanted to share my experience with the community. I have actually tried another application the other day built on Linux. I compared the results of FreeBSD emulation with the Linux ones, and while I could not figure how to get the Motif stuff working in FreeBSD, I did manage to get things working satsifactorily in Linux. I was testing a commercial Motif application, and it worked very well and very reliably. I have not had any crashes, but have had some font searching problems.

It was previously observed by Aron Tsu that Opera was locking on bsd.mp. In my experience this is more systematic problem. Oh yes, it's a well-known issue. Sorry, still no idea how to fix that.
