2. When the interrupts gets enabled, the system gets an interrupt and

continue to
   do	forever in this loop (do_IRQ, arch/kernel/irq.c):

A quick (and working, but probably unclean) solution is call
'i8259_init(intack_addr)' with intack_addr set to zero (instead of the
0xbffffff0 from prep_setup.c), thus forcing the interrupt to be polled from
the 8259 controller. Could somebody who understands open_pic (is this a
relative to MPIC?), give me a hint of suitable further reading before I to
try to clean this up?

Seems to me that either:
a) the pci_intack value is incorrect for your board, in which case you
should correct it
b) your board's int-ack feature is broken and you'll need to poll
