Well, it looks like the kernel is hitting a bug in your particular
combination of hardware. Sorry. Most probably you'll have to wait for a
newer version (looks like Ingo is on vacation). What is on IRQ14? You
could look at the interrupts while booting on another kernel with:
  cat /proc/interrupts

Try booting without acpi (add "acpi=off" to the kernel boot line in
grub, before the redhat graphical boot incantation if it is there).

Was working before and is not working now? Weird, nothing should have
changed for the old kernels. While booting into the old kernel (which
one? "uname -r" to know which) see if you have the old realtime kernel
module loaded:
  /sbin/lsmod | grep realcap

If not, load it:
  /sbin/modprobe realcap allcaps=1

That should fix the problem - but that was happening automatically
before?. Do you have the realcap startup script?
  ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d/realcap
If so, is it enabled?
  /sbin/chkconfig --list realcap

If you are not using the new kernel you should probably disable the
rtload and rtirq scripts:
  /sbin/chkconfig --del rtload
  /sbin/chkconfig --del rtirq
