Just wanted to give everybody some closure on this issue: Through the
magic of a JTAG debugger, I was able to identify that the problem was
an infinite loop in the BIOS's SMI handler. I'm not sure why this
didn't effect Linux -- perhaps it brought up the APs before the SMI
came in. In any case,
Cool, glad its resolved.

I have gotten access to a system this morning, I booted and installed
8.0 RELEASE on it, it had no problems installing or afterwords booting
the SMP kernel.
So, is it possible there's a regression/issue in HEAD, or perhaps you
have something in the PCIE expansion slots that cause it, the system
I've also tried a 6.1-derived kernel. I doubt that it was fixed for
8.0-RELEASE and then broken again on HEAD, but I'll check and be sure.
My guess is that the problem is with the BIOS. We loaned our
reference board to our BIOS vendor for development purposes and the
BIOS they left on it is
I'm trying to bring up a new board based on Intel's Jasper Forest x86
processor. I can boot a kernel without SMP without any problems, but
FreeBSD is not able to start up the Application Processors if I enable
SMP. The error message that I get is:
AP #2 (PHY# 2) failed!
panic y/n? [y]

What if you use amd64, have you tried that? Low level code is different.
Interesting however, maybe I can get access to one around here, will see.

amd64 exhibits the same problem, except that it's not even polite and

LOL, ok, I'm beating the bushes here Ryan, and I think I can get a system
although it may be a day or two. Will let you know.

Could you please try disabling legacy USB device support in BIOS if
such an option is provided in your BIOS setup and see if
