State-Changed-Why: 

Ilya, can you please check if this is still an issue with latest
7-STABLE / 6-STABLE / 7.0-R / 6.3-R?
Also from taking a look at your dmesg, these lines 
ACPI: overriding DSDT/SSDT with custom table
    ACPI-0377: *** Info: Table [DSDT] replaced by host OS
acpi0: <A M I OEMRSDT> on motherboard

make me wonder if you're able to install a BIOS update as the machine
seems to have some ACPI issues.
Also I'm pretty sure booting off umass is working fine in general
as I'm tried it over the last weeks several times (but using mostly
USB memory sticks - several different brands and only one USB-HDD).
