OK. Try these. Maybe someone in the community will see something.

Post the results of:

sudo cardctl ident

dmesg | grep irq

Check to see if irq conflict

The Yenta irq 0 looks like trouble to me.
You might try looking into bios regarding irq assignments or trying using a combination of these boot code for your particular hardware.

noapic pnpbios=off pci=bios acpi=off
