You're going around in circles as bad as the Dell tech. If the IRQs are being shared and setup in BIOS.. no amount of booting with ACPI disabled, or trying to set the IRQ within Linux is going to help. At this point, the BIOS is overriding and throwing the device onto that IRQ. If the device is physically being put onto an IRQ by the BIOS, then no amount of software manipulation is going to change it. If I am wrong, someone please let me know. As I understand it, ACPI will just let you use the extended (>15) IRQs.. which is really just IRQ sharing... the problem here is that the BIOS still has them setup as shared IRQs.
