Thanks, I was supposed to try that too, but I forgot ;-)
So I tried it. Doesn't work... It does change the IRQ assignments, but
I don't think there would be any hope of it running without ACPI. Isn't
ACPI required for IRQ sharing? If not then it might work.
No, ACPI is not required for interrupt sharing... So it might work ;-)
It uses 6 IRQ's just between the IDE and USB...the thing's stuffed with
cards. Add video, SB16, 2 serial ports, parallel...well, you get the
idea.
Now if VIA would have made it correctly in the first place...

Have you tried my patch? I'm running a kernel with this patch, ACPI enabled and "pci=noacpi". 16 IRQ's won't be enough for me, too, as you can see here:
CPU0
0: 348795 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 627 IO-APIC-edge i8042
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
4: 5 IO-APIC-edge serial
8: 2 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 IO-APIC-edge acpi
14: 12240 IO-APIC-edge ide0
15: 11 IO-APIC-edge ide1
16: 31827 IO-APIC-level nvidia
17: 1461 IO-APIC-level eth0
18: 4 IO-APIC-level bttv0
19: 13213 IO-APIC-level EMU10K1
21: 11567 IO-APIC-level uhci-hcd, uhci-hcd, uhci-hcd, ehci_hcd
And everything works just fine... (despite my broken BIOS ;-)
