No go :-( Firstly, does it seem to be detecting all six CPUs correctly? Are you able to reboot with the old kernel and put a verbose dmesg and the output of "acpidump -dt" up on the web somewhere? It would also be interesting to know if anything else is printed after the above when it hangs on a verbose boot. There was a report back in July about FreeBSD not discovering all the CPUs on the board, but there was no mention of hanging on boot. Gavinhome | help
