I ran into somethink like this last weekend. I thought disabling the USB
controller it in the BIOS would resolve the conflict. It wasn't enough.
If you see that linux assigns an irq to the USB controller, even though
the BIOS doesn't (look in, say, /proc/pci) and if you see a conflict
there (i.e., shared irq), well, there you go. I thought disabling the
USB controller in the BIOS would resolve my problem, but it didn't
and I beat my head against the wall for awhile until board-swapping
eventually resolved the conflict. Evidently the hurd irq assignment is
very similar to linux's so if you can see the conflict in linux, then
it probably exists in hurd. See debian-hurd.d.o archive ("New Install"
thread) for more details and maybe for other things to try.
