I have reports of a number of systems with issues like this.
I have a machine here (A Fujitsu Siemens TX150 server) in which the SCSI controller actually corrupts the low level format of the hard disk if I enable ACPI! (low level reformat required!). The ACPI IRQ setup seems to work fine on it (as I assume it does on your system). Its just that there seems to be "something else" wrong in ACPI still. Weirdly enough, it can read sector 0 of the HDD fine.. just any reads of any other sectors cause this corruption.
Now that I've got the bulk of the changes to the basic ACPI IRQ setup done, I can concentrate on these issues. Can you give me details of your system and the following items:
successful dmesg dmesg from a failed boot /proc/acpi/dsdt /proc/interrupts
