I doubt it's related to your problem, but I find that soft-rebooting
between Windows and Linux causes IRQ silliness, since the two systems
assign the IRQs differently.  For example, loading Windows, hibernating
it and booting into Linux and then soft-rebooting back into the
hibernated Windows state causes Windows to melt into a pile of jelly
(doesn't get far coming out of hibernation).  I don't know if it
works the other way round.  In any case, it's best to always power-cycle
the machine when changing OS.
