can not boot SMP kernel on GA-8EGXDR-E

# I can not boot SMP kernel on GA-8EGXDR-E motherboard in
# Gigabyte GS-SR222E server - it hangs on SCSI disks after CPUs launched:
#[...snipped...]
# 
# In maillists I found two the same reports without resolution:
# 
# on GA-8EGXDR-HT:
# http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-smp_2003/msg00452.html
# on GA-8EDXDR-HT:
# http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-smp_2003/msg00587.html
# 
# I had tried 4.8-RELEASE, 4.9-RELEASE and 5.1-RELEASE SMP kernels
# with and without HTT. All of them are hangs in the same place.
# 4.8-RELEASE UP kernel runs without any problems.
#[...snipped...]
# I thought that there can be some problem with interrupt routing
# and IOAPIC so I disabled ahd in kernel config and add IDE disk.
# After reboot FreeBSD saw ata disk. This disk has no filesystem
# so I can not say just now if SMP kernel can work on this motherboard
# with ata and fxp and without ahd and em0.
# But it seems that pci0 interrupts works fine.
# 
# I can post dmesg of boot -v, outputs of mptable and pconf,
# or can try suggested patches and debug sessions.

# I've just cvsup'ed new APIC code and booted 5.1 SMP kernel.

# There are some problems between Adaptec AIC7902 and
# "IBM IC35L036UCDY10-0 S27E" disks so I decreased number of tags to 32:
# 
# camcontrol tags da0 -N 32
# camcontrol tags da1 -N 32
# 
# Both disk run at 320MB/s (160MHz) in packetized mode.
