Use acpi=force. Len at intel has been fixing this upstream. Its a 2.4 fix that got dropped by mistake from 2.6
acpi=force does not work for me. Here's the message: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 000:00:0c.1 Unable to set IRQ for PCI Interrupt Link [PRQ3] (likely buggy ACPI BIOS). Aborting ACPI-based IRQ routing. Try pci=noacpi or acpi=off. Is this a problem with my bios settings? Thanks
