It looks like the deepest C-state was actually disabled automatically. Then it is surprising to have any problem with LAPIC. But, just to be sure that BIOS does not fool us, could you disable all C-states completely with something like this in rc.conf: performance_cx_lowest="C1" economy_cx_lowest="C1" , and if it won't help, also disable C1E in BIOS. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
