Hello,

I recently built a newer box that is running an Intel Xeon Quad Core X3210 
processor. I cannot get the SMP kernels to work with this. I tried various 
things with the 4.1 branch, including i386 and amd64. The i386 branches 
hangs during boot, while the amd64 gets caught in an infinite loop of 
kernel error messages. 4.2 amd64 branch gives the same exact result for 
bsd.mp (infinite loop of kernel interrupt errors). Please note that the 
regular kernel (without SMP support) works correctly.

Is there anything I can do to get SMP working with OpenBSD with this 
processor? FWIW, it is detected with a default install of FreeBSD 6.2.

The machine is a Intel SR1530AH with a S3000AH motherboard. I would love 
to get OpenBSD working fully with the hardware, and not have to use 
FreeBSD if possible.

Here are some error snippets I was able to get w/ debug options enabled:
For 4.1 i386.mp, it hangs here during boot:
mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support

For 4.1 amd64.mp, it gets caught here:
uvm_fault(0xd077fda0, 0x0, 0, 1) -> e
kernel: page fault trap, code=0
Stopped at mpbios_invent+0x42: movl 0xc(%eax),%eax


Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided. I would really like 
to use OpenBSD, but don't want to be running at 1/4 the possible 
performance I could be.

PS: I do not have any ways to get output from a serial console. :( Any 
information I get will be limited to typing it off of the visible screen.

Thanks!
