The mainboard is from ASRock:
  http://www.asrock.com/PRODUCT/939Dual-SATA2.htm
The hard drives are on PATA ports and there's nothing on SATA port,
and it's not doing any RAID.

If I boot a UP kernel, it proceeds to "start_init: trying /sbin/init",
but then stuck there(the backtrace in DDB is from console handler).

One thing caught my attention in dmesg from SMP kernel:
  nata0 [tentative] failed to probe at port 0x1f0 irq 14 on isa0
  nata1 [tentative] failed to probe at port 0x170 irq 15 on isa0
vs
  ata2 [tentative] failed to probe at port 0x1f0 irq 14 on isa0
  ata3 [tentative] failed to probe at port 0x170 irq 15 on isa0


FWIW, I put the kernel configs here:

Thanks.
