The problem was recently observed by some other users, and they think it is specific to N440BX boards. I can't tell from your dmesg, but does your motherboard happen to use this chipset? The workaround at this point is to disable SMP. Unfortunately, I don't have one of these boards here, so I can't test things out. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
