I was able to boot successfully by removing SMP and APIC from the kernel
config and disabling ACPI with the device hint. I experience the same
problem on an ICH5 system. A kernel from Jan 4 boots just fine but
sometimes it fails to detect both SATA drives.

case you want root access to the system just speak up.
