I owned a Toshiba Satellite until recently that depended on acpi for IRQ
routing and found that I could only get things running smoothly if I
compiled a vanilla kernel,with the latest acpi patch from sourceforge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi) None of the standard distribution
kernels seemed to do the job fully and it is difficult to get suitable
patches for them, so I would just compile your own.Using the options you
mentioned should then be fine, I think.
