Alright...drop #6 works fine here, in fact, with /S:1 setting my USB throughput

increases to about 12 MB/s...which is fairly nice compared to the IBM driver's 
5MB/s speed. Coincidentally, the /S:4 setting equals the IBM driver's 
performance.

Here is the machine specific info:

1) kernel - 14.104a_SMP
2) 1 CPU - 4 cores, running SMP with '/APIC' parameter
3) ACPI not in use
4) 5 OHCI & 2 EHCI controllers
5) USB entries in CONFIG.SYS:

REM ************************************
REM ***     USB Drivers     - START  ***
REM ************************************
REM BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS /V
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS /S:1 /V
BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS /S:1 /V
BASEDEV=USBD.SYS /REQ:USBOHCD$,USBEHCD$ /V
BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS /V
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /REMOVABLES:2 /FLOPPIES:0 /V
REM BASEDEV=USBCDROM.ADD
REM DEVICE=G:\OS2\BOOT\USBPRT.SYS /V
REM DEVICE=G:\apps\graphics\tools\tame\usbresmg.sys
DEVICE=G:\OS2\BOOT\USBRESMG.SYS /V
REM DEVICE=G:\OS2\BOOT\USBKBD.SYS /V
REM DEVICE=G:\OS2\BOOT\USBMOUSE.SYS /V
REM ************************************
REM ***     USB Drivers       - END  ***
REM ************************************

6) HANG specifics: the boot actually freezes regardless of whether USBEHCD.SYS 
is loaded, right after the "VirtualBox.org Support Driver for OS/2 version 
1.5.51_OSE" (VBoxDrv.sys) is loaded. ALT-F2 doesn't show anything else...it's a

HARD freeze, CHKDSK kicks in on reboot. Keyboard (PS/2) is non-responsive, 
CTRL-ALT-DEL does not work. "LEGACY" support is enabled in BIOS...otherwise my 
2Gig thumbdrive is not recognized.

Now...if I disable 'Legacy Support' in BIOS the boot does complete, but by the 
time the Desktop comes up it's pretty much non-responsive...it's as if there is

a tight loop somewhere that's not even accepting any of my mouse clicks or 
keyboard inputs. Eventually I am able to reboot (only because I have CAD
Handler
installed though)...

7) where should I submit the PCI scan? email to you Lars, or post here? (sort
of
a lengthy output)
