I do not really know what this option does.
See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt. It explains all parameters. For irqpoll it tells you:
irqpoll [HW] When an interrupt is not handled search all handlers for it. Also check all handlers each timer interrupt. Intended to get systems with badly broken firmware running.
... Thank you for explanation. It sounds like this option could cause serious performance degradation. I think, I'll try first noirqdebug (since my impression is that HW is OK), then probably irqfixup and irqpoll. Still not sure whether it'll provide any clue. Another option is to verify again (just for longer period) that 11.1 does not exhibit the issue and try Kubuntu 10.4 that is also installed on that computer.
