I just noticed after using 2.4.0-test1 for the first time and equipping
the HPT366 controller with a ATA/66 drive, I was also getting similar
IRQ error messages when the drive on the HPT366 was using DMA. Once I
compiled the kernel with CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ set to off, these
errors vanished.
My point being: the IRQ-assignements on the BP6 are hardwired (to the
slot assignement). With many boards you will get overlapping IRQs and
Linux/some hardware can't handle it (for example, my BP6 refuses to have
2 pcnet32 with the same IRQ, with 2 IRQs everything works).
I have attached the IRQ assignment of the BP6. I picked it up from the
ABIT newsgroup a long time ago. I have no idea how accurate it is but I
was able to get 5 PCI boards to work looking at it.

pci slot 1 shares witht he agp port
slot 2 has its own irq
slot 3 shares with the udma66 controller no matter what
slot 4 and 5 share an irq with the usb
