Some additional info, I've been investigating this for a few hours, and it appears that (a) IRQ 18 on my system is shared by ide0 and ide1, and that the IRQ storm seems to start the first time I use ide1 (DVD only).
I will be posting a bunch of dmesg results when/if the system reboots, but acpi={off,ht} doesn't help, pollirq doesn't help, and system shutdown leaves the system unbootable without a full (pull the power cord) hardware power cycle.
Questions: 1 - do you have trouble rebooting after a failure? 2 - do you see the IRQ 18 storm start just after the first use of ide1? 3 - and of course if you can get up in console mode, are ide0 and ide1 shared?
I may rebuild the kernel with IRQ share off just to see if that helps.
