It's a bug introduced in 2.6.24; that ACPI fails to allocate IRQs correctly for PCI devices, which
makes the kernel hang at boot-time:
PCI: Using ACPI for IRQ routing
PCI: If a device doesn't work, try "pci=routeirq". If it helps, post a report

(This trace is from 2.6.24.1, but it hasn't changed in 2.6.24.3.) I currently avoid this problem
by booting with acpi=noirq, which puts all the PCI devices on IRQ 9 instead of sharing them
between IRQs 16, 17, 18 and 19.
Cheers,
Chris
