Very likely.

Although I am not 100% sure if this will work, try cat ``/proc/interrupts''.
If there are two devices on an irq, then there is irq sharing going on.
neal@school:~ (0)$ cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0 CPU1
0: 4153560 4178221 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 53946 56201 IO-APIC-edge keyboard
2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 2022480 1946817 IO-APIC-edge soundblaster

15: 880081 841057 IO-APIC-edge ide1
NMI: 0

The first column is the irq number and the last is the device.
Before recompiling, I would try creating the partition with only the
sparse_super feature while being sure not to forget to make the owner the
hurd ``-o hurd''.
