   I checked, there is not. The Notebook is fairly new anyway, so it might   
   be buggy and there might be one out soon.

   Yes, I can set this up. And it actually boots from the USB stick. I could   
   see the Haiku splash screen before I entered "userland".

   Not really. But I might take the USB stick to an internet cafe where   
   there is usually no Linux or ext2/3 partitions installed to see what   
   happens there.

   Not yet. When I boot next time I'll try this. I forgot what key it was,   
   tried ESC, F12 etc. but not the space bar. *g*

   I had this on an older notebook too along with some "watch dog" log   
   entries. I don't know what it was but removing and reloading the ethernet   
   card's driver helped.
