It was identified (by Bjorn) to be some ACPI VIA PCI IRQ routing quirk 
logic change (as far as I understand it). Unfortunatelly it is not good 
for my board (AMD 761 North and VIA 686B South). Bjorn (huge thanks to 
him) produced testing patch that fixed it for me. Further patches were 
presented and discussed in the other thread. The newest one is waiting for 
final testing from me (in couple of minutes probably). I will CC you on my 
reply (if you are not already). As of what to do next with this patch (if 
it still works) Bjorn and others should reply.
