I had this problem long before 4.1.1, several months ago, but I'm not
exactly sure what caused it.  I assume that your on-board SCSI
controller is trying to use IRQ15.  Go into the Compaq System Setup
and make sure no devices are using IRQ15 except for possibly the
on-board IDE controller (which is what is _supposed_ to be using it).  
That solved it for me.  I've got a PR open on this, but I haven't yet
had time to figure out exactly what caused it since it is on a
production system.  It might be a BIOS problem, but it definately
works with some previous kernels and not with newer ones.
