I think that this problem is due to recent PCI subsystem changes which broke Mac
support. The problem show up as the interrupts not being delivered, which in
turn result in the kernel assuming that the drive is not working (see the
timeout error messages in your dmesg output). Hence your boot drive detection
fails and no rootfs to mount.

Adding linux-pci list.
