Thanks for the tips, guys. Yes, ACPI is enabled (from what i can see in 
the logs). And i tried passing noapic to both 2.6.5 and 2.6.6 kernels, 
with both atiixp, and atiixp-modem drivers. The results are pretty much 
the same. I'm now seeing that IRQ 5 is disabled with both drivers.
Although i have seen some other users of R3000 posting that noapic 
helped them, there are so many variations of R3000, that mine appears to 
be different from those.
Mine is R3000T (shared memory). The sound card is detected as IXP150 
AC'97 Audio Controller (snd-atiixp). But to me it looks like it really 
needs atiixp-modem driver, which is still experimental and doesn't cut it.
It appears i have 2 options:
1. Wait for atiixp-modem to become stable (or help make it so)
2. Plug a different sound card.

I'll see what i can do.

Thanks again,
