Hey, looks like we might be seeing similar things. I've been
investigating the fact that FreeBSD appears to be smashing the mangement
firmware because of the ipmi(4) code attempting to attach to the ACPI
and ISA versions of the BMC.
Do you see attempts to attach to "ipmi1" and do you see various cases
where you get a "NMI" of some kind on an ifconfig up of your network
interfaces?
