It seems that the acpi=noirq (and probably also the acpi=off) case
is simply an additional broken case, not a success case to compare to.

The thing we really want to compare is dmesg and /proc/interrupts
from 2.6.19-rc6-git12, and the broken current release.
Perhaps you can put that info in the bug report when you file it.

thanks,

2.6.19-rc6-git12 fails in exactly the same way, from /var/log/messages 
it seems 2.6.19-rc6 19/11/06 first saw the problem, details later when I 
boot 2.6.19-rc5.
If I boot an affected kernel with the SuSEfirewall2 enabled and then 
stop the firewall, the problems goes away.

Actually, many programs could be incomapatible with
newer kernel versions, so sometimes upgrades or at
least recompilations are needed.

 There is still the problem where the ethernet doesn't get configured 
 with acpi=off which I shall post to the acpi devel list, but this is not 
 a showstopper for me. ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.5 returns SIOCSIFFLAGS: 

I don't know acpi enough but as far as I know
some mainboards can't work properly with acpi
off, so it's probably not a bug.

 Everything is fine with a eepro100 on the 64x2 box that gave the same
 problem with a nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a1)
 using the forcedeth module. On the x86_64 laptop the problem is with a
 Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5788 using the tg3 module. Switching back to a
 2.6.18.2 kernel, there is no problem.
 With all configurations of cards on both, route -n is the same on all
 kernels and instantly reports back. With =2.6.19 on the laptop, netstat
 -r takes a very long time before returning the information ~30 seconds,
 instantly on 2.6.18.2.

This could be a problem with DNS. Could you do all tests
(including pinging) with -n option?

I've read your other message on netdev and see you
have firewall working and addresses from various 
networks in logs. I think it would be much easier
to exclude possible network config errors and try
to isolate pinging problems by connecting (with
switch or even crossed cable if possible) only 2
boxes with firewalls and other net devices disabled
and try to repeat this pinging with tcpdumps.

What was the last kernel that worked properly with no cmdline parameters?

Bugzilla may be a good place to put more information.
If the system fails in ACPI mode, but works in non-ACPI mode,
then please file a bug here:

Do you mean it does not work when running in ACPI mode, but it does
work correctly if you boot with acpi=noirq or acpi=off?

If so, please include the dmesg -s64000 and /proc/interrupts for
the acpi=off case also.

Nothing jumps out as incorrect with the ACPI IRQ routing below.

Maybe somebody who knows about the tg3 can suggest what
the error messages mean and if they are related to interrupt
problems, or perhaps something else like IO resource issues?
