I havn't tried with noirqdebug, but I have exactly the same problem with the ehci_hcd module. If I manage to start the computer without the noapic option I see that the ehci and ohci modules receives the same IRQ and no cpu load. But with noapic ehci receives a different IRQ and I can see in /proc/interupts that the ehci-hcd revieced a lot of interrupts and when I run then 'top' command the cpuload is 100% + cpu fan goes high all the time.
Sitsofe,
I havn't checked for bios upgrade, but my compter is from may 2007.
