   There seems to be a problem with the included usbohcd.sys driver;    
   usbehcd.sys seems to be working fine but cannot test usbuhcd.sys.   
      
   I unzipped the usbxhcd8 package and powered off as it was (past) my bedtime.   
      
   Today I powered on the system and was surprised to see the boot process    
   stop with this onscreen:-   
      
   USBMOUSE.SYS: USB MOUSE driver v.1.1 loaded.   
      
      
   I rebooted but the boot stops at the same point - I went and made a    
   coffee and the boot process was still at the same point on my return    
   over 5 minutes later.   
      
   I booted to a cmd line, deleted usbohcd.sys and reinstated the IBM version.   
      
   I rebooted to a working Desktop without problems.   
      
   I'm sure that the usbxhcd7 version of usbohcd.sys did not cause any boot    
   problems previously so I unzipped that version and rebooted to check. No    
   problem on reboot, system loaded fine - using it to post this report.   
      
   Hardware involved:-   
   nVidia nForce430/mCP61 chipset with 1 * usb2 and 1 * usb1 (ohcd) controller.   
   AMD64x2 4400 cpu   
      
      
   Relevant config.sys lines:-   
   PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /PIC   
      
   BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS   
   BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS /S:1   
   BASEDEV=USBD.SYS   
   BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS   
   BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /FLOPPIES:0 /REMOVABLES:8   
   DEVICE=H:\OS2\BOOT\USBMOUSE.SYS /V   
   DEVICE=H:\ECS\BOOT\USBRESMG.SYS   
      
   Kernel:-   
     @#IBM:14.104a#@_SMP  IBM OS/2 Kernel   
      
      
   Regards
