Hey Cyrille,
let my try to summarize:
(1) You needed to add "acpi=off" so that your CD-ROM works. If you use
"acpi=off" in the kernel command line, the CD-ROM works, but the IRQ
routing is broken which means that CardBus cards do not work. This PCI
IRQ routing is, in principle, something that the PCI and ACPI
maintainers should fix.
(2) If you remove "acpi=off", the system does not boot (any more). That
seems to be an ACPI-related problem.
Could you check or the following things, please?
(a) Is there a BIOS update available? Often, updating the BIOS helps in
addressing ACPI / PCI-IRQ issues.
(b) Could you boot with "acpi=off", please, insert a CardBus card, and then
send me the output of the "dmesg" command?
(c) Does booting with "acpi=off pci=biosirq" help?
Does booting with "acpi=off pci=usepirqmask" help?
Best,
Dominik
