And what the FAQ doesn't cover is here:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/JeremyChadwick/Commonly_reported_issues

* EIST (Intel SpeedStep) incompatibilities with Supermicro PDSMI+ motherboards (and possibly others)
    * Symptom: kernel outputs messages like kernel: calcru: negative runtime of -XXXXX usec for pid XX
    * Workaround: Disable the EIST feature in the BIOS. You can still achieve ACPI-based processor
      frequency throttling by using powerd(8).
    * Reference: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-October/133253.html
