I'm having the same problem on my Averatec 2460 laptop. Adding acpi=noirq doesn't help. I'm now running Gentoo with 8139too in PIO mode, recompiling the kernel with 8319too in MMIO mode gives me an unbootable system. Any changes that this gets fixed? I wasn't able to install any of the last 3 Ubuntu releases!
