On my T61 RMVIEW /IRQ shows:

  IRQ Level = 17  PCI Pin = A     Flg = SHARED       Intel 3945 a/b/g
  IRQ Level = 17  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = SHARED       HDA Intel
  IRQ Level = 17  PCI Pin =  B     Flg = SHARED       UHCI Compliant USB Host Controller

Exactly the same here.

of the USB controllers.  Could this be a possible cause of the hangs I've been experiencing?  Since I turned off animation I have had fewer hangs.

I've been wondering the same thing but I could not find a way to
change irq's.  I suppose you could turn off usb in the bios and
maybe the 3945 but for multi-booting that would be too much to give
up in my opinion.

In \os2\acpi.cfg  there are lines to redirect IRQ use, but  I can't figure it out.  It reminds me of spciirq which I finally figured out how to change an IRQ assignment on my old Medion laptop.  The problem is it has a line to remap one IRQ to another, but not an IRQ for a single device to a new IRQ.  So if I change 17 to 5 then all three (HDS, WiFi and USB) will be changed.  There is an additional section for seting links that I am reading about now in ACPI-IRQ.doc to see if that will accomplish this.
