Has anyone found the F10 has done something nasty to their BIOS?
I've had something like that happen to me instaling the Beta, and also
installing some earlier release.
I ended up resetting the BIOS to work around the nasty "USB current
overflow detected, shutting down" message (in spite of my having
disconnected everything from USB ports), but I decided the machine had
kind-of overheated because the install didn't enable cpu frequency
scaling. I used to start cpuspeed by hand to enable Cool&Quiet during
installs, but I'm pretty sure that one time I didn't.
