>Description:
        FreeBSD 7.3-STABLE on a Tyan Tiger MP (S2460) panics almost
        upon loading the kernel.

        The screen reads something like:
        real memory  = [...]
        avail memory = [...]
        ACPI APIC Table: <PTLTD APIC>
        FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs
         cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 1
         cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 0
        MCA: Bank 0, Status 0xf662a00000000833
        MCA: Global Cap 0x0000000000000104, Status 0x0000000000000004
        MCA: Vendor "AuthenticAMD", ID 0x681, APIC ID 1
        MCA: CPU 0 UNCOR PCC OVER BUSLG Source DRD Memory
        MCA: Address 0xe4000

        Fatal trap 28: machine check trap while in kernel mode
        cpuid = 0; apic id = 01
        instruction pointer = 0x20:0xc06ebc03
        stack pointer       = 0x28:0xc0c20d1c
        frame pointer       = 0x28:0xc0c20d44
        doce segment        = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                            = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
        processor eflags    = interrupt enabled, IOPL = 0
        current process     = 0
        [thread pid 0 tid 0 ]
        Stopped at    bios_sigsearch+0x93:  leal  0(%ebx,%eax,1),xedx
        db>

        This machine had no problem at least until short before
        7.3-RELEASE, so I'd rule out an actual hardware error.
        
>How-To-Repeat:
        Boot a generic kernel on a Tyan Tiger MP (S2460).
>Fix:

        Setting hw.mca.enabled=0 works around the problem.
