 My System is a Dual P3/1Ghz system, using a Tyan Thunder LE board, based 
 on the Serverworks Serverset LE3 chipset. I'm running 5.1 Release, 
 currently under the generic kernel. Generic-SMP does not work.
 
 I'm seeing this problem also - Kernel hangs at the "Testing 8254 
 interrupt delivery" message. Should this bug be uprated in severity? - 
 this is a showstopper for me - I will have to go back to a release with 
 working SMP support.
 
 Disabling these tests by editing clock.c in src/sys/i386/isa allows the 
 kernel to boot a little further, however this is not a fix, and in 
 anycase, the system then resets without warning later in the boot process.
 
 Hope this helps
