On the kernel that works, is anything in the above section different?

Worth a shot.  Also give pci=noacpi a try if that still doesn't fix it.

On the face of things, interrupt routing is screwed up somehow, and
everything goes south shortly after initialisation.
Give those boot params a try, and see if that helps any.
Sadly, this isn't going to get fixed in time for F8 now, so we're
in the "hope there are workarounds" area for this.

(Final big hammer to try if all else fails - acpi=off)
