You can add the "acpi=off" option to the kernel argument boot line
in grub.conf like so:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.26-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrma ro root=/dev/hda2 hdc=ide-scsi
acpi=off nolapic rhgb
That will get rid of interrupts 16 and 22 and move your soundcard and
ethernet card to *maybe* a more desirable position like IRQ 10 & 11. But
after reading the other posts in this thread I question if it really
makes any difference.
