i386 kernel w/options PAE fails
I have a machine with 4GB RAM and PAE support. I tried building a
kernel with "options PAE", but it spontaneously reboots when attaching
the second CPU. I switched to a serial console so I could capture it:

Without "options PAE", all is well, just RAM is clipped to 3GB:

CPU information:
http://bobdbob.com/~jdbaker/shadow-cpu.txt
Does this machine have all the right alphabet soup to use a PAE-enabled
i386 kernel?
(BTW, is there any good documentation that expands and explains all the
TLAs and ETLAs in the CPU feature list--short of the processor user's
manual?)
I'll try disabling SMP and see how it goes...
