Right from the images (specifically photo 0007 in the foto6 archive) we can see that we panic'd the second time we called acpi_processor_start(). In that case it appears that the sysdev was not initialised correctly. That you didn't take a picture of the initialiasation which also has a pause I assume that it was not emitted. Interesting.
I have built you a new test kernel, this one hopefully avoids the panic and continues (not fixed, just avoided). If so I'd like the whole dmesg from the boot. Either way if it gets further and we see further pauses I'd like pictures of those. Let me know.
