Well, not too much progress. Booted from rescue CD and set
"debug" in /etc/udev/udev.conf. Also modified lilo various ways
but this was as good as any (acpi=force and leaving acpi off did not
get very far):

failsafe acpi=off notsc console=tty0 console=ttyS0,38400

and booted that with a laptop logging off the serial line. Before
doing so made these BIOS changes:

load optimized defaults
DRAM timing mode auto -> maxmemclk
memory clock ddr2 400 -> ddr2 800
spread spectrum disabled -> enabled (the SATA disk jumper is off,
so it is set to SS enabled.)
changed the boot order to CD, Disk, Nothing
boot other device enabled -> disabled
full screen logo enabled ->disabled
fdc controller enabled -> disabled (no floppy in system)
init display first pci slot -> onboard (onboard is only display)
ACPI xsdt disabled -> enabled
HPET support, left it at enabled. (in previous attempts it was
disabled)

ran memtest for a while, no errors,.

There
were thousands and thousands of lines of udev output ending with this
and stepping from there right into some sort of failed disk access. It
looks like all sorts of udevd processes went into the background and
some of them pop up later.

etc. etc. It was all very nasty after this.

The bizarre thing is after booting from the rescue disk (acpi=off,
text mode) there is no problem whatsoever with the disks. I ran
e2fsck
on both partitions (sda1 = /boot, sda5 = /) and there were no errors.


I also noticed that the rescue CD was only running on one processor,
its dmesg showed this:

So maybe the CPU is broken, but no way to tell really unless I load
windows
or get some other version of Linux running.

Here is everything before the udev started
