If you haven't already received this suggestion, remove the ACPI support
from the kernel and see if the situation improves. The message "System
firmware supports: C2" indicates that your system supports CPU throttling,
which could cause the slowdown you describe.

Subject: 2.4.1-pre10 slowdown at boot.

2.4.1-pre10 slows down after printing those (maybe ACPI or reiserfs issue),
and even SysRQ-(s,u,b) is not imediate and waits several (two+) seconds
before (syncing,remounting,booting).

ACPI: System description tables found
ACPI: System description tables loaded
ACPI: Subsystem enabled
ACPI: System firmware supports: C2
ACPI: System firmware supports: S0 S1 S4 S5
reiserfs: checking transaction log (device 03:04) ...
Warning, log replay starting on readonly filesystem
