I'm extracting this from a different thread hoping for more help :)
Thanks Rudolf for all the help so far.

This is the last "funny" snippet from a Linux boot log with ACPI enabled:

 irq 9: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

It's from Coreboot.

Here's the same line from the factory BIOS:

   9:          0           0            0              0
IO-APIC-fasteoi   acpi

How do you find an interrupt source that's going crazy like that?
When I boot with acpi=off I IRQ9 doesn't even get registered.

Thanks,
Myles
