Yes, seen it. I gave up on that and switched the mobo. But there is also some 
changes in ACPI in recent times that have given other problems with loading PCI 
adapter drivers. But as you say, you see the same problem even with acpi=off -- 
as I did when I had the problem. It is hard to say that is is a bug in the 
kernel or not. ACPI is messy and it could just as easily be a BIOS issue on the 
mobo. Have you checked if there are any BIOS updates for your motherboard? It 
might solve your problem, or it might not. But worth a try.

And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil.
The worst that can be said is that he's an underachiever.
