FreeBSD 6.2 (as of 2006-11-07) SMP and Supermicro X7DBR+

[Guy Helmer]

I'm trying to help a colleague get FreeBSD 6.2 running on a Supermicro 
X7DBR-8+ (BIOS revision 1.1C) system with dual Xeon 5130  dual-core CPUs 
and 4GB of RAM.  He was able to run FreeBSD 6.1 from the FreeBSD 6.1 
Disc 1 Install CD onto the unit, but of course 6.1's em driver doesn't 
support the on-board Intel 82563EB network interfaces, so I've supplied 
him with an amd64 SMP kernel built from the RELENG_6 branch checked out 
as of November 7 (6.2 prerelease).  The SMP kernel is working well on 
our X7DBR-8+ system (albeit with only 2GB of RAM), but on his system the 
kernel hangs after the message (in verbose mode) "(noperiph:ahd0:-1:-1): 
SCSI Reset Delivered.  0 SCBs Aborted" or (not in verbose mode) "waiting 
2 seconds for SCSI to settle".

Any ideas?  I'm stumped...
