Subject:   Dell T710 with Xeon x5660 Kernel Panics - Fixed under 8.1-STABLE

BTW, just passing on that my Dell T710 which would Kernel panic under 8.1-RELEASE randomly between 10 minutes-2 days, no longer does this under 8.1-STABLE. I was running it with 2 of the new Intel 6 core Xeon's -  X5660

Under 8.1.-RELEASE FreeBSD didn't recognize the processor, and I guess that's causing APIC table load issues?

I had tried 2 reinstalls, and building a custom kernel, and always the same issue.

My CPU is detected properly under STABLE, and looks to be rock solid - Except for a small ZFS bug that  may report a bit later when I have time for screen shots.

I still have the old HD with 8.1 STABLE on it, and can load it up if anyone needed me to find out exactly the difference.

Thanks.
