The following problem with an MSI E7500 MB with dual 2.0GHZ Xeon processors
looks similar to:

Problem Report i386/40564
Problem Report misc/42414

Symptoms are - build SMP kernel and boot - output ends at:

Changing APIC ID for IO APIC #3 from 7 to 15 in MP table
Changing APIC ID for IO APIC #4 from 15 to 8 on chip
panic: can't control APIC #4  ID, reg: 0xffffffff
mp_lock = 00000001; cpuid = 0; lapic.id = 00000000


The MSI support people suggest the following:

> You need to install patch for Unix.
> So I would suggest you to look on FreeBSD's website for patch supporting
> Intel Plumas chipset.

and

> Also if the customer is using Xeon with HyperThread function, they may need
> to install the patch for that as well.
> For the support of Prestonia processors.

I have no idea as to what they are refering to...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
