Hitting the button immediately shut down the machine. > See http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/3999 I found another one's hint in the user forums and following it, I was now able to boot up Haiku - in less than eight seconds: impressive. What I did was disable hispeed legacy USB in the BIOS settings. You can toggle between "high speed" and "full speed" in the BIOS. I think this means EHCI isn't initialized by the BIOS, and booting off USB would be slow (USB 1.0 probably), but that doesn't hurt me. Juergen
