[CentOS] how to correctly turn off apic at boot

I have tried in the grub.conf file

noapic

and

apic=off

I am still getting the same error message about ACPI
in the dmesg output.

example:
ACPI: PCI interupt .... IRQ 16
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 ... IRQ16
eth0: identified 8139 chip type

so ACPI is grabbing IRQ 16 and not letting eth0 have it. (I Think).

How do I correctly disable it on my compaq v2000 laptop.
I think it is not allowing my usb and realtek network to function.
