   I guessed right - the USBOHCD.SYS driver is the problem; same problem I    
   encountered with your usbxhcd8 build of this driver.   
      
   Having replaced it with the IBM version the system boots and runs fine.   
      
   The USBEHCD.SYS driver seems to work OK - very limited testing though.   
      
   I cannot test the USBUHCD.SYS driver as I do not have any hardware that    
   uses it.   
      
      
   Hardware:   
   Asus M2N mainboard with nVidia nForce430/MCP61 chipset   
   1 * EHCD controller   
   1 * OHCD controller
