Tyan Tiget S5351-i7322 hangs with ACPI (AMD64 or i386)

[Robert Faulds]

That does indeed allow me to boot 6.0-RELEASE-x86
http://xocolatl.com/rfaulds/freebsd-acpi/test1-dmesg-no-apic-verbose 

Bad assumption on my part that
root at x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC and
/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC were the same. Or is it loader.conf on the
release ISO that is different.

Doesn't a lack of APIC preclude running SMP? Can you suggest next steps
for me, please?

Robert

Well, one thing to note is that with ACPI you have APIC, but without
ACPI you 
do not.  Can you try just booting ACPI with APIC disabled 
(hint.apic.0.disabled=1) to see if that fares better?  You'll probably
need 
to do that with a FreeBSD/i386 kernel for now.
