very slow startup on battery

[ats1080]

i never really noticed how slow bt3 starts up when its on battery since im usually always plugged in. but yesturday it sat at "Serial:8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled" for about 5 minutes before it continued to boot. since then i tried booting from the HD install and my usb drive install and they both do the same thing. i cant really say much more than that.

Do you have an Intel Processor, if so, chances it's the Intel Speed Stepping technology slowing down your processor to conserve energy.

nah its an AMD 64 bit x2. That could be it though. I have an HP DV6119us.

i had the same pb with bt2 and my dv6146

... try to boot via

boot : bt irqpoll for bt2

or higlight the mode in the bt3 menu . hit tab... add irqpoll ... hit enter

I have the same problem.. It really sucks, but irqpoll didnt worked
Other idea to fix this?
