You mean "acpi=off", or "pci=noacpi".  If either of these fix the
problem, please let me know.  (and send me the dmesg and
/proc/interrupts for both cases)

"noapic" (note spelling) would have no effect on this box b/c it is
running in PIC-mode.

Cheers,

Shawn, try turning off ACPI for interrupt routing.  Load the kernel with
the kernel parameter "noapci" set.

And then the eth0 device stops responding to traffic until I shut down and
cut power fo the machine by removing the power cable.

Can someone confirm problems with the changes from 2.6.5-rc3 -> 2.6.5 final?

Thanks
