For my system, I added the following lines to kernel config: options SMP options APIC_IO options NCPU=2 #same with GENERIC options NBUS=5 #GENERIC default was 4, doesn't work! options NAPIC=1 #same with GENERIC options NINTR=40 #GENERIC default was 24, doesn't work! Try to use mptable(1) to get the kernel options that you might need. I hope this is helpful.
