Have you tried booting the box (and then rebooting) with one/some/all of the various APIC/ACPI options? e.g. "noapic noacpi apic=off acpi=off"?
People should use "acpi=off" as their last option, not the first :) ACPI is really useful!
For your reboot problems... try to add "reboot=bios" or "reboot=triple" instead.
