Comment 9 for bug 126369

Sorry it's taken so long to write back. I'm unable to get repeatable
results when booting with the irqpoll option. If I boot with it, it often
hangs for > 15 minutes at the "Reading files necessary for boot" step and
then again at the "Preparing Restricted Drivers" step. Then once I do get
up gdm is flaky Without irqpoll, it flies right past both of those (since I
don't require any restricted drivers).. Is there something I can do to boot
with irqpoll, save off some helpful data, then boot up without it?
