OK, I have updated source and rebuilt kernel just to make sure, sorry I 
forgot to mention that I'm on RELENG_6.

The only reliable boot is with apic and pci_link disabled. Otherwise I 
may have to boot multiple times before the system comes up correctly, 
and when it fails this may not always happen at the same place: I may 
get an infinite loop of AcpiEvGpeDispatch errors or it may hang after 
finding disks or when gathering entropy.

I have dumped dmesg and other stuff with different options at boot, 
since this is pretty verbose I've placed it on my website:

boot -v:

http://www.locolomo.org/src/acpi/sysctl-GENERIC-v
http://www.locolomo.org/src/acpi/pciconf-GENERIC-v
http://www.locolomo.org/src/acpi/lspci-GENERIC-v
http://www.locolomo.org/src/acpi/vmstat-GENERIC-v

boot -v, acpi disabled:

http://www.locolomo.org/src/acpi/lspci-GENERIC-v-no_acpi
http://www.locolomo.org/src/acpi/vmstat-GENERIC-v-no_acpi

boot -v, apic disabled:

http://www.locolomo.org/src/acpi/lspci-GENERIC-v-no_apic
http://www.locolomo.org/src/acpi/vmstat-GENERIC-v-no_apic

boot -v, apic disabled, pci_link disabled:

http://www.locolomo.org/src/acpi/sysctl-GENERIC-v-no_apic_pcilink

Also, there is the ASL dump:

Yes, in that case the wireless (iwi) won't come up correctly.

Thanks, Erik
