======================================================================
I have flashed the bios to attempt a fix. (Intel bios version 1.14)
This did not fix the problem. I have also attempted Terry Lambert's fixes from freebsd-smp mailinglist as follows:

1)	Change:

	int     mp_ncpus;               /* # of CPUs, including BSP */

	To:

	volatile int     mp_ncpus;      /* # of CPUs, including BSP */

	In mp_machdep.c; it could be that the compiler options
	you are using are causing the value to end up being cached
	in a register in the loop (you would have to examine the
	assembly code to see if this were the case).

2)	In locore.s, change:

	begin:
        /* set up bootstrap stack */
        movl    _proc0paddr,%esp        /* location of in-kernel pages */
        addl    $UPAGES*PAGE_SIZE,%esp  /* bootstrap stack end location */
        xorl    %eax,%eax                       /* mark end of frames */
        movl    %eax,%ebp
        movl    _proc0paddr,%eax
        movl    _IdlePTD, %esi
        movl    %esi,PCB_CR3(%eax)
 
        testl   $CPUID_PGE, R(_cpu_feature)
        jz      1f
        movl    %cr4, %eax
        orl     $CR4_PGE, %eax
        movl    %eax, %cr4
1:

	To:

begin:
        /* set up bootstrap stack */
        movl    _proc0paddr,%esp        /* location of in-kernel pages */
        addl    $UPAGES*PAGE_SIZE,%esp  /* bootstrap stack end location */
        xorl    %eax,%eax                       /* mark end of frames */
        movl    %eax,%ebp
        movl    _proc0paddr,%eax
        movl    _IdlePTD, %esi
        movl    %esi,PCB_CR3(%eax)
 
        testl   $CPUID_PGE, R(_cpu_feature)
        jz      1f
/*
 * DISABLE PGE/GPE on Intel/AMD; eat performance hit on CR3 reload
 * in exchange for non-stale TLB contents on bogus motherboard with
 * bad MMU hardware and/or wiring and/or undocumented hardware bug.
 */
/*        movl    %cr4, %eax     */
/*        orl     $CR4_PGE, %eax */
/*        movl    %eax, %cr4     */
1:

3)	Add "options DISABLE_PSE" to the config file, and rebuild the
	kernel.

YMMV (of course).

-- Terry

None of these fixes worked.

>How-To-Repeat:
If the kernel is compiled with these options turned up the system panics booting the 2nd CPU:

#options        SMP                     # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
#options        APIC_IO                 # Symmetric (APIC) I/O
