When the system boots, EIST only initializes for CPU cores 0 and 2. 1 and 3 do not initialize. Powerd is enabled in rc.conf, to no avail.

You need to know that Intel's Core 2 Quad is nothing more then two Core 2 Duo dies put together on one die and connected by a FSB link, so cores 1 and 2 "talk" to eash other thru L2 Cache while cores 1 and 3 "talk" to eash other by FSB bus, its pretty fscked up desing without any smart designs and sollutions, pure brute force, two dual cores thrown together to serve as a quad core, this is because you got only two instead of four Intel SpeedSteps messages.
