btw, I also tried to boot from my notebook harddrive with a Haiku 
installation which boots without any issues on my notebook. same behaviour.

also I forgot to mention that the system is equipped with 2 vga boards (ATI 
Radon HD3870), in case that matters ...

@ingo this system also uses the stage1 bootloader with more verbose debug 
turned on ...
