My experience with the asus a8v (non-deluxe) with dual-core athlon 3800
x2  is that GENERIC.MPACPI/amd64 does not work on it, though GENERIC.MP
_does_.  I've successfully run a non-MP i386 kernel on it;  as soon as
it finishes the build, I'll try the MP i386 version and let you know.

(Thus far, I've had nothing but bad luck with our ACPI code, never
actually having gotten _any_ system to work with it.  This keeps me from
using it much  :)
