I've got a SuperMicro X10SRA board that I bought back in March, I think.
It was run CURRENT fine since then, until last month, when it started
hanging during boot. I was about to update it to a new version of
CURRENT when it started hanging at boot, but hadn't updated yet. The
hang is after (verbose boot):

ACPI APIC Table: <SUPERM SMCI--MB>
Package ID shift: 4
L3 cache ID shift: 4
L2 cache ID shift: 1
L1 cache ID shift: 1
Core ID shift: 1

Recently I've tried booting 9.3 and 10.3 on it without success. Other
operating systems boot fine. Thinking the hang was similar to the one in
this thread (or at least the board is), I tried many different BIOS
changes and also tried enabling the memory test, but none of that
changes anything. This is a single socket board so there are no NUMA or
memory interleaving options in the BIOS. The BIOS is up to date (2.0a).
It will boot if SMP is disabled. That's obviously sub-optimal, but is
useful for building updated kernels, which I've tried. If anyone has any
suggestions or ideas, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Steve
