I think you probably can run an SMP kernel if you are running 3.0-current
and build it with "options SMP_TIMER_NC" in the kernel config file:

http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/getstarted.html

I also am tracking down a better solution to this problem.  I suspect that
its a matter of programming the PIIX3 chip on the motherboard.  I need a
little info about these supermicro boards:

According to the manual and/or actual BIOS actions, is it possible
to choose from a range of IRQs for the secondary IDE controller?

or do they claim your only choice is IRQ15?
