I've got the same mainboard and the same problems...

It's not a problem with ACPI, it's more a problem with the interrupt routing
based on the ACPI tables. These tables seem to be not correctly implemented
in the BIOS and, as the german EPOX support admits, are not really tested. To
change this you may contact the EPOX support and describe your problems,
too....

If you want to use ACPI while this BIOS bug is not fixed you may use the
attached patch and boot with pci=noacpi. Without the patch this doesn't work
for me here...

Best regards
