Do you realize how much developer time you're wasting by thrashing
around cluelessly on the list demanding help?

Here's a clue:

Forget about your damn irq problem, boot with the disks installed,
then read section of the handbook about crashdumps, compile a debug
kernel and figure out what the problem is.  Fix it and send us a
patch.

Or you could simply run -stable.

thanks,
