yep, i found this a few hours ago... and got the same result as below

Thats the interesting part, I have 2 cards plugged in... 1 x SIS6326 AGP graphics card, and 1 x Connexant PCI modem card.
If I put the modem card into the left most pci slot, I get a bios IRQ routing error.
I've replaced the AGP card with another make, same problem, I've had my supplier replace the motherboard, same problem. Replaced the CPU, same problem.
I'm going to take the system back to the supplier tomorrow and ask him to sort it out.... I'm not going to tell him anything apart from "It does not work", its useless explaining to him the above if he not going to understand a word of it. Could this be an incompatibility issue between the CPU and the mobo?
