Yes. I even tried the latest beta version (3.02h). It didn't help. 
However, a colleague of mine is running a similar board without any 
problems. The only difference between his and mine is the simple fact 
that his doesn't have an on-board SCSI controller. Go figure.

I had a laptop once, it had crappy ACPI tables in the BIOS. I had to fix
them myself using some ACPI table dumper and vi. This might also be
nescessary for your Tyan board.

I run 7 Tyan GX28 (all Dual Opteron) servers with Debian and 2.6 kernels
and never have problems with ACPI on them. Tried flashing the BIOS to
the latest available version?

Regards,
Sander.

Change the cable, use a different port on the switch. Check the error
counter in ifconfig.

Mea culpa. My linux box was using an IP that rightfully belonged to a 
Windows workstation. However, I still maintain that the kernel will not 
boot unless 'acpi=noirq' is appended to it. Anyone want to shed some 
light on the subject?


Best regards,
Uroš
