Created attachment 3573 [details] Full boot listing captured by redirecting console to serial port
Created attachment 3574 [details] /proc/interrupts from hardware running under 2.6.7 kernel
Created attachment 3575 [details] Output from scripts/ver_linux from system running under 2.6.7 kernel
Also tried booting with variations of: pci=noacpi, acpi=off, noapic This results in problem being reported with IRQ 10 instead of IRQ 17
Problem appears to be resolved after patching up to snapshot 2.6.9-rc3-bk8.
I just wanted to point out that I have NOT had this problem since 2.6.9-rc3-bk8. Currently running SuSE 9.3 / Kernel 2.6.11.4 on this hardware without issue.
According to the bug logs, it seems this issue is already fixed in recent kernels.
