I'll admit that I've never had to resort to "acpi=off", but my
multi-core system all boot with a dmesg that says
Using ACPI (MADT) for SMP configuration information
In particular, your system reported

That doesn't look right. It should report that it allows multiple
CPUs.
Can you boot this system without turning off acpi?
