Just tested with 2.6.3, and it still happens.

Everything seems to work fine with it now.

Still surprised, because on it everything works if I use
IO-APIC with or without ACPI.

Here are the differences in /proc/pci (- is ACPI with IO-APIC,
+ IO-APIC):

I/O at 0xb800 [0xb81f].
Bus 0, device 16, function 3:
USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 130).
- IRQ 21.
+ IRQ 19.
Master Capable. Latency=32.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xdd035000 [0xdd0350ff].
Bus 0, device 17, function 0:
ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8235 ISA Bridge (rev 0).
Bus 0, device 17, function 1:
IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT8233/A/C/VT8235 PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 6).
- IRQ 20.
+ IRQ 27.
Master Capable. Latency=32.
I/O at 0xbc00 [0xbc0f].
Bus 0, device 17, function 5:

And /proc/interrupts:

- 9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi
- 14: 1138 IO-APIC-edge ide0
+ 14: 777 IO-APIC-edge ide0
- 18: 24 IO-APIC-level eth0
- 21: 290 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd
+ 21: 99 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd
