Here's the /proc/interrupts dump:

CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
0: 11524000 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 8 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042
5: 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level acpi

LOC: 11524185 11524201 11524194 11524121

I'm not sure about IRQ balancing sorry. How do I tell? The entire boot
process output is here:

http://robm.fastmail.fm/kernel/t7/bootdmesg.txt

And the config is here:

http://robm.fastmail.fm/kernel/t7/config.txt

Does that help?

Our boot doesn't pass any special parameters, just choosing the deadline
elevator...

image=/boot/bzImage-2.6.12.2
label=linux-2.6.12.2
append="elevator=deadline"
read-only
root=/dev/sda2

Thanks for your help!

Rob
