My kernel would freeze if I enabled Local APIC on Uniprocessor.  Since
ACPI does the IRQ routing this is probably what is confusing things.
It would be useful if the one could override the other if it's being
used.  I make mention of this on my website and my kernel patch's default
configuration has these options disabled.

Other people have mentioned a problem with losing interrupts on some
models of Compaq - I haven't suffered from this and there is a patch for
this which someone has made (which since I don't use it hasn't stuck in
my memory I'm afraid).

I do get the warning about the unknown device, but I ignored it as I
knew I didn't have the device.  I will remove it from my DSDT now I know
what's causing it ;)
