 Replying to [comment:1 Quozl]:
 > Mikus, please test for the symptom ''failure to boot automatically with
 hub, keyboard and trackball attached'' again with
 http://dev.laptop.org/~wmb/q2e42e.rom

 Tested with Q2E42E.

 Out of a dozen tries (using five different XO-1 machines), eleven
 (re)booted "normally" (without stalling) while the USB hub remained
 attached to the XO.  As far as I am concerned, Q2E42E has fixed my #10042
 problem.

 The odd situation happened only once (and did not repeat), on an XO-1
 where the external USB hub had an ethernet adapter plugged in (in addition
 to the keyboard and trackball).  That time, the XO-1 (with Q2E42E) that
 was running the boot sequence spontaneously powered itself down (at a
 point just before it should have issued the "Type the ESC key ... "
 message).
