Server 1 
Processor: E5-2650L V3 
RAM: 192GB
No Raidcard installed
BIOS: UEFI Mode
Firmware: all up to date
Version tried: FreeBSD 12.1 / FreeBSD 13 / FreeBSD 11.4 
Server 2 
Processor:  E5-2660 v3 
RAM: 96GB
No Raidcard installed
BIOS: UEFI Mode
Firmware: all up to date
Version tried: FreeBSD 12.1 / FreeBSD 13 / FreeBSD 11.4 
Issue: 
It appears that when X2Apic is enabled within BIOS, FreeBSD hangs when probing 
the USB controller. 
I have tried four different variants. 

HardenedBSD - Hangs on usb 
OpenBSD - Just fall out crashes 
NetBSD - Kills the server iDRAC 
FreeBSD - ahcich timeout on slot xx 
OmniOS which gives the error:  No SOF interrupts have been received this usb 
ehci hostcontroller is unusable 

And all fail to boot with X2APIC enabled. 
I have tried the following tunables: 
kern.cam.boot_delay="10000" 
vfs.root_mount_always_wait=1 
hw.usb.xhci.use_polling=1 

But no cigar. Linux distribution works without problem, booting in to Debian 10 
Stretch with no issues. 
I have raised a bug report and posted on the FreeBSD posts. 

The workaround for now is to turn off X2APIC, but you will loose HyperThreading 
capabilities or use a *nix distro which I am trying to avoid. 
Any help with this would be great. 
Cheers
