I'm having the same problem with an A7V. I've tried kernels all the way up to 2.4.18 with no improvement. However, I have the Award BIOS (1010A) and I cannot find the option of which you speak: Assign IRQ for USB, to turn it off...
Which BIOS do you have? Did you consider getting another USB controller (an ohci)? That's what I'm about ready to do, but I'm concerned that it might not fix the problem...
