I seem to have isolated the problems with SMP on this machine to the built-in Intel Pro/1000 (82540) Ethernet interfaces. The machine *nearly* freezes after ifconfig is run during startup. It can respond to the keyboard (accepting characters) the first few times I unplug/plug the Ethernet cable from em0 and cause link down/up messages on the console. This only works a few times before the keyboard becomes completely unresponsive. I've tried a 4.8-RELEASE and a 4.9-STABLE kernel cvsuped today.
