Note that these are just noise -- new code being verbose when looking for an optional feature.

The fact that hitting the power button a bunch of times
to make the system move along suggests some sort of missing interrupt problem --
most likely the timer itself.

CONFIG_NO_HZ=y

does CONFIG_NO_HZ=n make a difference?

Boot went fine but the system got pretty unresponsive later, 2-3 seconds
delay after keypresses on an idle system and a hang during shutdown which i had to resolve by
pressing the power button (not to switch it of the hard way, but to keep it rebooting)

CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y

does CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n make a difference?

doesnt change anything

does "irqpoll" make any difference?
does "notsc" make any difference?
does "idle=poll" make any difference?

I tried these with the HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n, irqpoll and notsc dont change
a thing, idle=poll makes it boot normally
