I flashed the latest BIOS from Asus and had various problems (P4P81019) then flashed one I got as a gift from a nameless source (P4P81086). That did the trick, all the IRQs are no longer shared, even though they worked perfectly as shared on 2.4.22-1.2199 (FC1) with the original BIOS. Since the system worked with 2.4 and not with 2.6, even though a BIOS change made the problem go away, I suspect that there is still some issue with the shared IRQ, although I am certainly NOT interested in going back to help find it! Many thanks to people who suggested BIOS upgrade as a workaround for the kernel, and pointed me at installing from CD instead of floppy (I don't have floppy). The system is now stable although there are a number of "not in 2.6" issues to solve eventually.
