OK, I pressed F6 and typed "irqpoll" at the end of the list of boot options, which now read as follows: Boot Options z ramdisk_size=16384 root=/dev/ram rw quiet -- irqpoll Now it comes up with exactly the same response, except that after the first repetition the following appears: starting system log daemon: syslogd, klogd Then the screen goes blank and the machine crashes.
