--What does the pci=biosirq actually DO?

You're absolutely right- there should be some explaination. duh! Long week of dealing w/ VIP wannabe's @ work. :P And there's one more day to go.

pci=biosirq will force the use of the BIOS assigned Interrupt ReQuests on the PCI bus. Possible cure for non-functioning hardware. Very handy for unruly IRQ conflicts. Look at dmesg and cat /proc/pci to find out if you have any such troubles..

Gee Dave for a second there I thought maybe there was something you didn't already know.

Oh BTW- you can pass this option to the kernel in other distros as well.
