Hi,

I just compared your mptable output with that from a user reporting success,
ie the one on the web page.  There is a significant difference:

yours:

I/O Ints:	Type	Polarity    Trigger	Bus ID	 IRQ	APIC ID	INT#
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	   1	      2	   1
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	   0	      2	   2
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	   3	      2	   3
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	   4	      2	   4
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	   5	      2	   5
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	   6	      2	   6
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	   7	      2	   7
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	   8	      2	   8
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	   9	      2	   9
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	  10	      2	  10
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	  11	      2	  11
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	  12	      2	  12
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	  13	      2	  13
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	  14	      2	  14
		INT	 conforms    conforms	     0	  15	      2	  15

web page:

----
yours shows no sign of an APIC being available.  Not only are the PCI entries
NOT directed to APIC pins, but there are no SMI/ExtInt/NMI entries.
I would look thru the BIOS for settings affecting the APIC, INTs, etc.
Something along these lines is the cause of your trouble.
