No bugs found on my Toshiba laptop with an i915 graphics adapter. I noticed no difference in the boot sequence.

i915 has two meanings: 1-kernel driver for all non-ancient Intel IGPs 2-i915 GMA 950 graphics on Intel northbridge chip from 2004-2005, which only works with 32bit Pentium 4s and Celerons, after which the i915 kernel driver was named

So, did you test on 32bit TW with your i915 IGP, or is some other IGP in your Toshiba, and if so, which? e.g.:

inxi -Ga Reports: Graphics:  Device-1: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics vendor: Toshiba driver: i915 v: kernel bus-ID: 00:02.0            chip-ID: 8086:0416 class-ID: 0300            Device-2: Chicony TOSHIBA Web Camera - FHD type: USB driver: uvcvideo bus-ID: 3-10:2 chip-ID: 04f2:b3b2            class-ID: 0e02 serial: 0x0001            Display: x11 server: X.org 1.21.1.2 compositor: kwin_x11 driver: loaded: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa            alternate: intel resolution:            OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2) v: 4.5 Mesa 21.3.1 compat-v: 3.0 direct render: Yes

This is a 64-bit system.

Thanks for testing. Best regards Thomas
