Another theory I have is that it could be related to IRQ timing /

They are sharing the same IRQ base on the information from the Manual,
though the manual is not saying which IRQ is it.
How can I find out?
Maybe I can disable or select option RESERVER for that IRQ from Bios.
It looks like you can do "lspci -vv" to get the IRQ. At least an IRQ problem would be
consistent with the "killing interrupt handler" message you got. BTW, you get a full
oops message out of this? That might be useful for debugging.

Finally I was able to emerge KDE, it really took a lot of time.
Though, looking at the motherboard's ASUS A8V IRQ setting:
They put a lot of devices on IRQ5:
skge - network controller
libata - I think this is sata ATA controller
ethci_Hcd:usb2, usb2
VIA8237 - sound ship
No wonder I'm having problem (and some others) with Sata Drive, if it is
sharing an IRQ with so many devices. In comparison IDE controller have
all their own IRQ's Primary IRQ 14 and Secondary IRQ 15
Great! So, did you physically remove the sata drive? The sata drivers are
still enabled though? The ouput from dmesg should give you an idea what
drivers the kernel is actively using.
