Try to disable ACPI in the Bios, if you can't find this option there's another way to shut it down in windows but i don't remember how. Also make sure you've deselected Plug 'N Pray OS or PNP OS in the bios.

ACPI puts all items on same irq
It's usually fine.. I build machines with
6 items on irq 11, and that includes sb lives (every shakes in there boots), the irq thing is an acpi thing. There are more articles on places like athlonmb.com

Same IRG situation with my comp. until I reenabled one of the two serial ports in the bios setup. Before that IRQ 4 was used for all. Now only IRQ11 is being shared. Weird, but it works. My bet is you've all disabled serial ports. Try enabling one or both and watch the IRQs be reassigned.

Go into your Hardware menu, under "computer" there should be the ACPI option, tell it to update the driver and choose "Standard PC". It will ask for a reboot. BE WARNED, it will redetect every piece of hardware you have and reinstall it.

Peace
