Hmm. I'm running NetBSD-current (1.6R) on the same board
with 2 PentiumIII's. MPBIOS enabled and MPACPI disabled.
The BIOS version is 14.3.
Note with MPACPI it stalls at `cpu1: CPU 0 running'.

Yep, we're running the same board, but you have a later version than I
do.
I can't tell you the BIOS revision I'm running because I'm at work now,
but I doubt it's 14.3. When I first got the board awhile back, I found
this
in Intel's BIOS release notes, which led me to believe I couldn't run
14.3
Because my board's PBA and AA #'s are less than those shown below, am I
wrong
In thinking this? They seem to contradict themselves with the second
and third
caveats.
Thanks,
Bob
Intel's Notes:
These notes apply to L440GX+ Production BIOS version 9.1 and later:
- L440GX+ Production BIOS 9.1 and later can be used on all L440GX+
server boards.
However, BIOS support for the Pentium(r) III 550E and 600E MHz and
faster
processors can only be used on L440GX+ boards that have a PBA# of
704293-501
and greater or an AA# of 721242-008 and greater.
Intel Pentium(r) III 550E and 600E MHz and faster processors are not
supported
on L440GX+ boards with PBA and AA numbers previous to those listed.
Intel Pentium(r)III processors upto and including 600 MHz(no 'E') can be
used on all L440GX+ boards.
- Only L440GX+ server boards having a PBA 704293-801 and later or AA
704293-020
and later will support 1 GHz Pentium III processors.
