State-Changed-Why: 
I am currently trying to determine the exact problem with the
submitter.

This is the final line of his bootup sequence:
Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec.

If i refer to my personal system i can see that after
that the harddisks are probed.  So something might be
wrong there.  Let's exclude that and try starting
without ACPI to see what that does.

Place the PR in feedback mode till the problem is more
clear.
