Looks pretty obvious from the lspci output, the bios likes to assign
several devices to IRQ 11, including the video card, the IDE (CMD646)
and the network interface. Have you tried fiddling with the bios and
see if you can force it to assign interrupts differently?
Otherwise you just need to make sure that the device drivers are
capable of running with shared interrupts - it looks like both the IDE
code and the Tlan drivers do that in 2.2.10 at least though, you may
need to poke the code and find out why it doesn't.
