I saw this whilst booting my 2.6 machine yesterday - might be of use:

  PCI: Using ACPI for IRQ routing
  ** PCI interrupts are no longer routed automatically.  If this
  ** causes a device to stop working, it is probably because the
  ** driver failed to call pci_enable_device().  As a temporary
  ** workaround, the "pci=routeirq" argument restores the old

  ** so I can fix the driver.
