Not the same problem here.  It'll boot up fine (lagging at network startup
items like syslogd, etc., but I can hit Control-C to cancel those and
eventually get a login prompt).  Just no network and lots of "fxp0: device
timeout" messages.  Turn off SMP in the kernel config, reboot, and all works
fine.  Never any trouble with serial ports.

Again, the important point here is that this hardware ran 3.4-stable with
SMP with no problems (for at least a year or so).  Upgraded to 4.0, and no
joy.
