SuperMicro X5DEI-GG

Has anyone had positive or negative experience with the SuperMicro X5DEI-GG
dual-Xeon motherboard?  It seems to work OK on a uniprocessor kernel, but
FreeBSD 4.8 SMP kernels lock up after the "mounting root" message or after
ifconfiging lo0 in the startup scripts.  Our first machine may just be
flaky, so I'll try another one as soon as possible...

It's supposed to have a ServerWorks GC-SL chipset, but dmesg doesn't
recognize the specific model.

Machine details (dmesg, pciconf, mptable) follow.

Thanks,
Guy
