I have never used a P4 system(if I'm lucky maybe i never will), but
IRQs above 15 are very common on Dual proc IA32 machines.
e.g.:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0 CPU1
0: 155646450 155595630 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 604 606 IO-APIC-edge keyboard
2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade
4: 567483 569737 IO-APIC-edge serial
8: 0 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc
14: 2 8 IO-APIC-edge ide0
19: 795915 798381 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx, aic7xxx, Mylex DAC960PRL
21: 9125385 9120879 IO-APIC-level usb-uhci, eth0

thats from an Intel L440GX+ motherboard with dual P3-450Mhz cpus,
running redhat 7.3(my one and only redhat box, the rest are debian)
even under kernel 2.2 irqs above 15 worked fine. I think this is
SMP-specific, so if your system is not a dual proc box, using
the SMP kernel may help, though I suspect the SMP code won't
enable itself unless it sees the additional cpus.
so my thinking is maybe the board just has some weird hardware
that the system doesn't like(one reason I'm not fond of the latest
bleeding edge stuff, my fastest processor is a 2-year old athlon
1300), the dual p3-450 above is actually newer then the athlon :)
good luck.
