Not subscribed, so please forgive the unthreaded post.

As per K.R. Foley's report, booting on SMP fails. I tried & failed to
capture the boot messages via serial, so the best I can offer is a pic
of what remained visible on screen at the death.

I suspect there was more prior to that, but so far that's the best I can
offer.

Booting with maxcpus=1 didn't fail completely, but also suffered dramas.
Loss of usb mouse was the most noticable. If that scenario might be
interesting or helpful, I'll pursue it further.

cheers, Cal
