It looks like your motherboard's DSDT is doing something hokey. I would complain to the board manufacturer about this. For the timebeing, you can dump the DSDT into ASL format, modify it, compile it back to DSDT and load a proper version on system startup. If this is your first time, you probably want to run "acpidump -d > my.asl" and make the resulting file available somewhere. Would you also mind sharing the kernel config file that was used to build the kernel that gaves you the mother of all interrupt parties?
