I can confirm this.
Booting with no further options stops with:

[46.459412] setting up standard pci resources
[46.025857] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found

Setting the acpi=off option leaves me with:

[61.882778] Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
[74.972749] end request I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0

systems hangs here for about 2 minutes or so continuing with:

[147.138743] squashfs: version 3.2-r2
and then stops with:

[269.307435] udevd-event [6064]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit

and thats it. No boot at all.
I hope this helps.
There is another bug I contribute to and I think it has something to do with this since DSDT is involved there too.

I hope this helps somehow and feisty will happen for us, who suffer from this bug, too.
