I am not really interested in ACPI execpt it gives trouble on this particular machine, given the machines primary use low power consumption is a non issue.
ACPI is a lot more than just power management these days, it can be used for enumeration of processors, memory, IRQ's, etc. You could try booting with acpi=off to completely disable it, or if you wanted to get more fine grained have a look at Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt and see the options starting with acpi=, there's a couple of pages of them. :-) Glad to hear your 3.7.9 kernel works and given what you said I can understand why you've chosen to go that way.
