1) reorganize the PCI cards to alter the interrupt sharing. This is
a tiresome trial-and-error process that worked for me. When you

2) Are you using APIC? try booting "noapic" and see how it goes
[1] The good old ham radio method of fixing a radio. Poke around with
a screwdriver, pushing the bits (these was in the days of valves and
such)
around until at some point, touching some object, the problem (whistle,
noise, cracking) stops. Solder the screwdriver to that object.
