My machine at work (AMD1700+) has same problems - here is it's dmesg IRQs:

[jakobbg@nusse ~]$ dmesg | grep -i irq
ioapic0 <Version 0.3> irqs 0-23 on motherboard
rl0: <Accton MPX 5030/5038 10/100BaseTX> port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xdfffff00-=

While doing this:

$ cd /tmp && tar
jxf /usr/ports/distfiles/openoffice.org2.0/OOo_1.9m130_source.tar.bz2=20

During it's entire run I ran this as well (my computer did nothing else
during that time):

while(true); do date >> vmstat.log && vmstat -i >> vmstat.log && sleep 1; d=
one

The logfile can be found at
<http://www.grimstveit.no/jakob/files/temp/vmstat.log>. Are you able to par=
se
anything usable from it?

Thanks in advance. If you need anything else, please just ask - I am very
eager to find the cause of these problems.
