PCI interrupts are wired to slots on all the motherboards I've
used.

The USB controller is always sharing with the network card in your
current config. Try moving it to another slot (the first one
will share with AGP too :().

Your motherboard manual should have a layout of which IRQ's are routed to
which slots.

Also, check the SMP options in the 2.4 kernel. They added a lot of stuff
about IO-APIC and stuff (don't have a dual machine, so I can't tell you
what they do).

(When you change the layout of the cards, tell the BIOS to reset the DMI
pool and anything else it can reset in the Plug and Play screen).
