this is in the changefile to 2.6.11. This seems to be the real culprit. I guarantee you if this patch is reverted, there will be no problems.

Your 2.6.11 dmesg mentions the VIA IRQ fixup, but the 2.6.12 one

Can you try the attached debugging patch?  And please collect the
output of lspci, too.




I tried the attached patch and it had no effect. I also tried porting
the 2.6.11 way of handling the VIA quirk but it didn't have any effect.
I'll try a more complete port tomorrow (it was a bit of a hack this time).

2.6.11-mm4 doesn't work. So i'm guessing 2.6.11 wont work either which may be why backporting it's via fixes didn't do anything. I'm gonna try vanilla and if that by some crazy chance works, then it'll be fairly easy to see what change did it since mm has a nice Changelog.
