↑↑↑      I found the solution!

That's again me, my first comment is just above.

When booting, I used flag "noapic" ("nolapic" works too). Seriously, I
don't know why it didn't help before, most likely I just forgot to try
it and thought I already tried. Or just mixed up it wrongly with
"noacpi".

So, the same Debian 6.0.1 (stable), same hardware (AMD 690V chipset and all as 
above). When grub loads press "e" to manually edit boot options and add 
"noapic" or "nolapic":

You can add one of the flags permanently by editing the system file 
/boot/grub/grub.cfg. Find there a line with flags giving to the kernel. Add 
"noapic" or "nolapic":

After editing this file rebuild the grub using a command "update-grub".

Still I noticed that the error "ataX: softreset failed (device not
ready)" appears twice at the very start by the system boot but right
after it without any pause system continues to load normally. Also I
don't see these errors in dmesg.
