   Hallo,   
      
   boot hangs might have many reasons, including problems with the existing   
   screen01.sys.   
      
   However, some users also experience long boot delays in conjunction with USB,   
   in particular   
   EHCI (the USBEHCD.SYS driver).   
   Would anybody who has this problem check if they have a BIOS setting called:   
   "EHCI handoff" or   
   "EHCI BIOS handoff" or   
   "BIOS EHCI handoff" or   
   "USB 2.0 handoff" or   
   "USB 2.0 BIOS handoff" or the like (the word "handoff" is the keyword)   
   ?   
      
   If yes, it should be possible to select between "disabled" and "enabled".   
      
   Can those users please toggle between these 2 settings and report back which   
   setting works   
   for them (prevents the boot delay) and which setting does not ?   
      
   Thanks,   
   Lars
