This is still bugging me. If I boot the machine cold to eCS, it's OK. If I reboot, it will boot to XP
or Linux, but not eCS.
Today it got past the problem point but then hung opening the WPS. Reboot (power off - quickly
on) and it hung. Later, after an off period and a boot to linux, it booted up OK.
I may have just discovered a key. If I shutdown to a reboot, and then power off, it seems to be
OK; If I shutdown to off (where I then have to turn it off by hand) I seem to have the problem.
