Hi Daniel, Kind of bummer, as I will be losing 64 bit support by use i386. This is an Intel Xeon, which should be compatible with the amd64 branch. In any case; when attempting to run the i386 bsd.mp it hangs here: mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support It's a hard freeze-up, the keyboard will not

i386 GENERIC works, and boots up normally. i386 SMP (bsd.mp) hangs at the line below (and additional lines in my other message). I have to hard power the machine down at this hang (i386 SMP kernel). This same exact thing occurs with both 4.1 and current (just downloaded the current today).
