No love from SMP either. It still only boots with apic disabled.
I put up the mptable, and a few other files at
http://xocolatl.com/rfaulds/freebsd-acpi/
I've been stepping through the BIOS but there is no options for forcing
the mp spec. <sigh>
Interestingly, I have disabled HyperThreading in the BIOS and yet the
SMP kernel still detects it.

Thanks,
Robert

They should be identical.  I think that your machine doesn't have a
valid MP=20
Table, so the non-ACPI kernel isn't able to locate any APICs.

Yes, it does, but it narrows down where the problems are.  Can you try=20
building an SMP kernel (GENERIC on 6.x doesn't include SMP by default)
and=20
seeing if it boots up ok?
