Hi,

soundcard and gfxcard are not listed. Sound takes mostly irq 5. In case 
you don't need the soundcard, make sure it's plugged out or disabled in 
bios. Suppose gfxcard is irq 10. So that should'nt be the problem. But 
look in /proc/pci to make sure. Just play around with your pci cards and 
put them in other slots until the problem vanishes.
