this is in the changefile to 2.6.11. This seems to be the real culprit. I guarantee you if this patch is reverted, there will be no problems.

Your 2.6.11 dmesg mentions the VIA IRQ fixup, but the 2.6.12 one
doesn't. I bet something's broken there.
Can you try the attached debugging patch? And please collect the
output of lspci, too.
I tried the attached patch and it had no effect. I also tried porting
the 2.6.11 way of handling the VIA quirk but it didn't have any effect.
I'll try a more complete port tomorrow (it was a bit of a hack this time).
