 The problem is that your BIOS is marked as buggy by the ACPI code.  
 Unfortunately the MADT code doesn't check the blacklist until it is too late 
 to revert back to not using ACPI.  You will just need to use the 
 'hint.acpi.0.disabled=1' loader tunable to disable ACPI altogether.  Given 
 how few blacklisted BIOSes are present in SMP machines, trying to make the 
 quirk checking happen earlier is probably not going to happen anytime soon, 
 so it's probably best to just disable ACPI as the panic message told you to.
