These started happening for me at some point after R1/Alpha1 on my
Acer Aspire One (AOA150) - sometimes USB doesn't work when I boot up
(seems like the behavior changes depending on a cold boot or warm
reboot) - and removing the hda driver tends to fix it. I assume that
this is an IRQ sharing problem between USB and HDA - but I haven't
investigated deeply enough to be sure. When I did start investigating
it, binary-searching versions to find out which caused it - that's
when I realized that warm vs cold boot seemed to affect the
success/failure, and I then realized all my testing had been tainted
and I would need to start over.
