No Problem :). I really find that issue annoying though. It happens on my Dell e1505 too. I don't know why either.

You made my day... :) Thx!

I have noticed some strange behaviour of my Dell X1 after running Haiku on it.

Dell X1 displays a progress bar during its POST procedure. Normally it takes no longer than second to finish and present bootman menu. But not when Haiku was the last operating system started on that machine. POST takes much longer then and the progress bar grows slowly (5-6 seconds maybe). Powering off does not help. What helps is starting up Windows XP. The next POST is fast again after Windows restart or shut down.

How can it be explained? It is not related to any particular build of Haiku - I have been seeing this since the very beginning of Haiku installation on this machine (which means 4, 5 weeks ago and I am updating it every few days with new builds).
