Does the system have USB ports? If so, are they enabled/disabled? Also,
what video card are you using? I notice that the SCSI controller is
attempting to use 11. However, I've never really had much success with
using this IRQ as my systems have had other devices that wanted this IRQ
(video and USB normally). You might be getting away with using 11 because
14 and 15 are dormant under the other kernel (I'm speculating here).
