hi all
the second posting went wrong due tot gmail problem (network)
this is /proc/interrupts
did the following run with full acpi
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
0: 97 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 7310 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042
7: 1 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge
8: 1 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc0
9: 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi acpi
12: 115 36083 0 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042
14: 8029 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge pata_amd
15: 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge pata_amd
16: 94270 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi
sym53c8xx, nvidia
17: 13352 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi
0000:02:07.0
19: 2 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci1394
20: 108 0 15721 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi

then run with no acpi
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
0: 88 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 16 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042
2: 0 0 0 0 XT-PIC-XT cascade

7: 3 0 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi

8: 1 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc0
9: 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge acpi
10: 299 5730 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi
sata_nv, ohci_hcd:usb1, nvidia
11: 588 0 0 1174 IO-APIC-fasteoi

in both cases irq-balancer is running
see the difference in IO-APIC-edge i8042
This is a raid 0 system
in the acpi run irq 22 23 is the raid array
and in the no acpi run irq 5 7 is the raid array
all togethher the no acpi run gives a more equal load on the 4 cpu's
as the acpi run gives 0 60 to 90 % load on cpu 0 the other cpu's not
more then 4 to 10 percent with intervals
hope this gives you more info in what i mean
2.6.27 kernels acted more like the no acpi setting.
and no warning on the acpi tables in the bios
