	Machine is HP dc5750. Latest BIOS (v02.31), AMD 4200+ processor,
	2 gigs of RAM.

>Description:

	trying to boot the system with ACPI enabled produces the following:

	panic: vm_fault: fault on nofualt entry, addr: 81423000

	the system boots fine wiuthout ACPI, but then will only use one of
	the cores and requires the physical RAM to be set in loader.conf.

	I think this may be the same issue as PR 117918 which I reported
	under 6.3.
	

>How-To-Repeat:

	try and boot the machine using 7.0/i386 with ACPI and the panic
	occurs almost instantly the machine tries to boot.

>Fix:

	workaround is not to use ACPI, but this means only using a single
	core of the processor.
