A new server shippped by a local vendor fails to boot bsd.mp, with and

fine, both acpi and without. Pls. find dmesgs of those as well as more
info below.
I'm pretty sure that message from arc is a result of interrupts not being
hooked up correctly.
also, arc doesnt hang after printing that message, it gives control back to
the rest of the kernel. presumably the kernel is hanging while waiting for
io on the disk to work, but of course, the disk is on arc and interrupts
arent wired up to it correctly so just blocks.

I see. However, only bsd.mp hangs, bsd boots fine. Is there anything else I can
try?
