I mentioned it to the video developer that fixed the ATI bug and he mentioned that there is a workaround if you see this: This problem occurs with certain hardware (keyboards, mice, video devices). During booting, a checksum is calculated based on some info obtained for each device. The checksum is compared to a checksum recorded in the OWconfig file.
