hmmm...
These Integrated/Onboard components should be working - it seems as if
your IRQ routing table (IRQ assignments and "Priority') is all screwy -
Unfortunately I don't know how to fix that in Linux...yet -(in
winblows, you'd remove all the affected devices in Device Mangler, and
reboot, and it usually sorts itself out).

* Do you have these Onboard components Disabled in the BIOS ?
* What Mobo is this ?
* Any ISA cards installed ?

perhaps a boot with a 'noacpi' option will help - maybe using both
'irqpoll' and 'noacpi'. I think somewhere in /var/log/messages(?) may
provide more log files to help track down the problem. Sorry i couldn't
give more concise/explicit instructions or help. I'm quite new to linux.
