I thought all would be well, but: when I hooked up a 7-port USB2 hub to
my IBM A31, XP/SP2 refused to boot or restart correctly. When I unhook
the hub everything goes fine. Seems the laptop wants to prefer booting
off the faster device (I had a MAXSTOR hooked up there for backups but
even unhooking it didn't solve the boots: got weird static screen). Is
this a hardware issue and NOT XP, and therefore something I shouldn't
be posting here?
