You can use polling mode by removing irq XX from the config line in your kernel. Also, the pcic parts in most laptops don't share irqs with other devices (there are some pci exceptions, but that usually isn't the problem) and laptops tend to have a lot of devices built into them. : Second, it takes longer to boot these days.
