Hrm, fdc_acpi is losing trying to discover the resources (i/o, irq, drq) 
of your floppy disk controller.
  1. Are you running the latest revision of your BIOS?
  2. Stupid question, but is the FDC enabled in the BIOS?

pckbc(4) currently relies on resources handed to us from two separate 
ACPI nodes. The current attachment is a hack; it does the same thing 
that pckbc at pnpbios does (which unfortunately seems to mean that if a 
PS/2 mouse isn't plugged in, the keyboard won't work).

USB will still attach to pci; however, support will hopefully be there 
soon to setup PCI interrupt routing via ACPI and this should fix your 
problem. In the meantime, can you try adding the 'PCIBIOS' collection of 
options to your config? My ThinkPad 600E requires them for the Cardbus 
controller to work properly with the current ACPI code.
