INIT detected from ---- {APICID = 00 NODEID = 00 COREID = 00} ---
Issuing SOFT_RESET...
Looking at the code this is emitted in model_fxx/init_cpus.c when cpu_init_detectedx is non-zero.
Thanks,

Steve,
This could indicate a real problem. It means that the core was unexpectedly reset at some point. This is checked in cache_as_ram.inc. Look for /* check if cpu_init_detected */.
If the reset is intentional, the reset code should set/clear the bit in the msr by calling set_bios_reset();
I have seen unintentional resets caused by AP init and/or CAR and memory init issues. You can get into some funny race conditions with AP and BSP using the same CAR location but that is just a guess.
I hope that gives you some ideas about what might be going wrong and where to start looking.
