I don't know if there's something like a general solution, but yes, many new
main boards just steal all IRQs not explicitly reserved for ISA in the BIOS
setup. This affects all operating systems that don't reprogram the PCI
chipset themselves, AFAIK. Don't know if Linux *can* do that at all, but at
least, it didn't seem to last time I faced this situantion. Might be
different with 2.4.x...
