I think I am making the issue confusing. Using the same hardware, each time-- RELENG_4 Both in UNi Processor mode and SMP, all works fine. The hifn card does not lock up RELENG_6, in uni processor mode the card does not lock up. Recompile to SMP, it locks up pretty quick. However, its not a deadlock issue like the previous HiFn problems I have run into. I am guessing its some sort of interrupt routing issue as the box totally shuts down in some strange suspend state.
