Try booting with ACPI disabled. Something does not appear sane with  
your ACPI config using your custom kernel:
acpi: bad write to port 0x080 (32), val 0xaa

This next bit may not be much help in terms of solving your immediate  
problem, but it will save you a boatload of hassles and time across  
upgrades:
Use "include GENERIC" and remove what you don't want using nocpu/ 
nooptions/nodevice (I offer my config as an example: http:// 
bling.properkernel.com/freebsd/BLING ). Every time you sync up with  
GENERIC, just update the "in sync with" version.
