A major problem.
You have now disabled acpi. Now your machine is using mpbios. And
that means everything changes. Your dmesg is now useless to us.
Everything before the acpi line is uninteresting and uninformative,
but everything after the mpbios line influenced by MPBIOS, so it is
not very useful either.
One day you guys are going to stop following the 'disable acpi'
recipe, but until then the replies will remain the same: What you just
submitted as a bug report is useless. A 'disable acpi' dmest does not
help find the problem.
What you should have done is get the machine setup well enough that
you can login from remote in the failing configuration, then collect
the information.
