On my Pavilion (and the other 5400's as far as I can tell), maestro's on
irq 5. Wanna send me a "dump_pirq" and a "lspci -vvvxxx"? Could you try
the patch below (inspired by/stolen from Kai Germaschewski)? Also, the
newest acpi patch will print out the acpi irq routing table - might have
your info. You can tell if the patch below had any effect because it
will say it ASSIGNED IRQ XX instead of FOUND.

I believe the Omnibook XEs and the Pavilion N5400's are very similar
hardware. Several of the drivers I've seen on HP's website appear to
apply to both. If you want to help get the BIOS updated (the root cause,
IMHO), please call HP support and reference case number 1429683616 (that
9 may be a 4 - my handwriting is horrible). That's the case I logged
with thim about the broken PIR table (USB irq showing 9; being 11) and
failure to enable sse on athlon 4/duron/xp chips.

Thanks for the info!
