Hi,

I had similar problems with the ACPI IRQ routing, too.

For me everything worked fine if I used acpi=off. I didn't see your results 
trying this... If this works you may be interested in the attached patch 
which also makes pci=noacpi work for me!

I'd be interested in your results with the patch...

Best regards
