USB booting :: USB booting problem...

I had a problem today with a K8M800-M2 board. It also has an AMD 2800+. I tried booting DSL3.1, DSL2.4 and a customized DSL3.1 from the DVDROM with no luck. The failsafe mode did work. Likewise, Fedora flawlessly installed on the machine. Perhaps it is a 2.4 kernel compatability issue with these boards? I haven't tried the "apm=off" trick yet.

I am having similar problems on a EPIA V board. Boot process gets upto detaecting USB devices then simply shutsdown (crash). Does anyone have this working on the EPIA v board? any hints on how-to get this done?

Thanks
Tony
