Salamat :)
APIC and ACPI support in Linux is still experimental, AFAIK, The parameters above are the right ones. The issue here is whether your on board NICs are already supported in Linux or not. Also, if they are supported, you might be experiencing IO and IRQ routing which are nowadays done through APIC. If there are modules for your NICs try disabling APIC and ACPI in your BIOS. You can also try the beta 2.6 kernel or the pre-release series of 2.4.22 kernels. Just check the changelogs. I have an Epox 8rda+ here and I am having problems with APIC. Whenever I install an additional LAN card I lose USB functionality. It is given by the BIOS an of IRQ 0. I will have to wait a little while before I get the most out of my motherboard.
