The motherboard (BIOS rev.0203) is based on the nVidia MCP55 chipset,

Trying to boot the latest snapshot 6.1-STABLE-200608-amd64, the kernel
probes most peripherals (the Marvel gigabit-ethernet is not detected,
but that's a known item), but just after reporting acd0 it hangs solid
with the IDE led on. No panic, nor errors.
It seems related to the detection of the disks (they are not reported).
I even left it in that state the whole night (just in case it was some
loooong timeout), but nothing.
The -i386 image exhibits the same exact behaviour. Booting without ACPI
does not solve.

7.0-CURRENT-200608-amd64 boots fine (no Marvel gbit, of course).

What should I try next?

You need ata-chipset.c from -CURRENT, or wait for fix to be merged.

: Finally fix support for the newer MCP51/MCP55 nVidia chipsets.
: The register layout has changed since the original NV4 - sigh.
: Hotplug support has been fixed for all nVidia chipsets that supports it
: (including the MCP51/55).
