Shuttle SB61G2 V3 boot-up abnormality

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.shuttle (More info?)

Why don't you have the combo as master? This may be your problem.
I assume the ICH5 bios is turned on.
Go to you bios setup and choose "advanced bios feature"/"Hard Disk boot
priority"/Other USB devices...... as the first boot device.
On my ST61G4, everytime I change a USB device(HDD or memcard), I have to
reset the boot priority.
