Did you ever get this problem solved? We are seeing the same thing now with new Dell PowerEdge servers. we did the ACPI disable/enable to no avail as well.

Hello,
I met a new problem when trying to add new node in our own testbed setup.
The machine is a new HP Pavilion workstation with Intel Core Quad(core 4) CPU at 2.66GHz, SATA disk, 3G memory and Intel Gigabit NIC.
I am sure I can install FreeBSD 6.3-stable and Fedora 9 on the local disk in this machine, so that the hard disk is not a problem.
But when I PXE it from the boss into FreeBSD.newnode, it went into KDB mode with panic error. The following is the error mesg:
-------------------
....
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
/boot/kernel text=0x5d59bc data="" syms=[0x4+0x72d00+0x4+0x8ef01]
/boot/acpi.ko text=0x44e9c data="" syms=[0x4+0x7dd0+0x4+0xab6e]
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [/boot/kernel]...

I have tried to enable/ disable the ACPI, but errors are the same.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
