However, I was still unable to connect to the internet until I "downgraded" to RedHat 9.
Try the kernel boot option acpi=off Check out https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=100522 for more details.
Upgraded to 9.0.93 beta andd no longer use network. I enabled acpi=off in grub and it works. I have included outpt from acpidmp and dmidecode

if you boot with "pci=noacpi" does the network come up? can you append the dmesg -s40000 and /proc/interrupts output from the failure & success cases?
I reinstalled Severn and added an avanced boot option(?) using acpi=off. After install, my network card is operating and I am able to connect to my cable internet.
