OK, kernel 2.6.10 works (I'll post dmesg if requested). The Audio card
gets allocated to IRQ 5, instead of trying to allocate IRQ 7. I also
updated the BIOS from A09 to A13, but this did not change anything. For
kernels 2.6.8 and 2.6.9 I still have to use pci=noacpi. Since kernel
2.6.8 is planned to be shipped with Sarge, will the the changes made wrt
ACPI in 2.6.10 be back-ported to 2.6.8? The reason for setting the
severity to serious was with the sarge release in mind.
