No, this is a clean installed system. Nothing in make.conf or src.conf.
And loader.conf is empty.

Just adding 'device acpi' into the generic kernel made it boot
successfully. (without KDB DDB ACPI_DEBUG)

Here are the outputfiles suggested from the webpage:

http://fbsd-err.pvp.se/acpidump_acpi_compiled.asl
http://fbsd-err.pvp.se/dmesg_acpi_compiled.txt
http://fbsd-err.pvp.se/sysctl_acpi_compiled.txt

Please let me know what else to test or if you want more data...

Later today I will head over to the datacenter to swap a failed disk and
will then also update the BIOS on these servers. I'll post a message how
that goes later tonight.
