What not to do.
Number 1.
After drinking Guinness, do not come home and turn the computer on forgetting
that a USB card reader is plugged in.
Machine would get past bios checks then just sat there with no error messages
and nothing on the display.
I just spent an hour trying different monitors, graphics cards, LiveCD's.
memtest and hard drives until I remembered the card reader was plugged in.
Wife has gone to bed in disgust and it is our wedding anniversary today.

ditto for usb sticks, mobile phones and ipods.
Add USB-HDDs to the list. On most kernels mine freezes the computer
somewhere around boot-time.
