I believe it uses the improved interrupt and CPU tables, but I might be
confusing it with -current.

That doesn't help much :(

Intel is Intel. ServerWorks is owned by Broadcom.  They are separate
companies.

OK, so Intel E7500 chipset.  I've run -stable and -current on that in the
past without issue, so it could be recent breakage.

I don't run my machines with apm so I'm not sure where its hanging at.
