Hello Linux BIOS developers.
As far as I understand, current Linux BIOS does not boot from USB memory stick if it is USB 2.0, Right?. But, I also understand that EHCI (= USB 2.0) can also work as UHCI/OHCI( = USB1.1). Then, if I use a M/B which has EHCI and put USB 2.0 stick to it, and put Linux kernel supports EHCI driver there. And if I boot it with Etherboot/FILO with USB 1.1 support in this case, can it boot as USB 1.1? and can I switch USB mode to 2.0 after booting?
What I want to do is like this.
1. Boot linux kernel by Etherboot/FILO/USB1.1 from USB stick. 2. Reading Linux kernel itself is slow. But after that, it works with 2.0 performance?.

It should work as USB 1.1.
I was planning to add USB 2 support FILO in Etherboot.
But in long term FILO and Etherboot will gone, the tiny kernel in Flash with LinuxBIOS will do everything. The kenel may include every device that you want.
