Your code, as posted, doesn't enable the appropriate IRQ in the
Interrupt Controller in the initialization code, and your interrupt
handler doesn't EOI the Interrupt Controller before it returns.  So
it's no surprise it isn't working.

The reason it works with the timer and the keybord is because these
IRQs are already enabled during bootstrap.  And the EOI problem didn't
show up because you probably chained to the old handler when you tried
your code with the keyboard and the timer, in which case the old
handler did the EOI for you.
