Question Serverworks-P3 APIC problem


I'm having problem with a server where plugging in a USB device will result in the following error message:

Code:
Sep  9 06:35:01 server1 kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:0f.2-3, assigned address 2
Sep  9 06:35:06 server1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
After googling around, it seems that the server is based on Serverworks Pentium-III chipset, which is known to have APIC or APIC routing table bug, as can be read here:

httpss --- bugzilla DOTT redhat DOTT com /// bugzilla /// show_bug DOTT cgi?id=71766
httpp --- www DOTT mail-archive DOTT com /// linux-kernel AT vger.kernel DOTT org /// msg47926 DOTT html


(apologies for not making those above clickable URL - since I'm a new user here (less than 5 posts), this post will be blocked if it contains any URL)

I've tried enabling setting "Legacy USB" in the BIOS, but it doesn't help.

According to the post in RedHat's Bugzilla above, another solution is to hardwire the usb interrupt in the APIC IRQ transform.
Questions:
1. How do I know the correct IRQ ?
2. How do I "hardwire the usb interrupt in the APIC IRQ transform" ?

Booting with noapic option is unfortunately not an option, since this is a multiprocessor server, and disabling APIC will severely affect reliability / performance of this server (according to a post I found via Google)

Here's a few details about the server: (OS: Debian sarge)
