The moment a second CPU to the machine....it bombs out. Have you tried to present this issue to some specific FreeBSD mailing lists? I believe some of these might be more suited to help you. These lists come to mind: FreeBSD Bugs http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs FreeBSD ACPI http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-acpi FreeBSD Hardware http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware Good luck !
