Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I'm having a strange problem with an Intel D815EEA2 motherboard with a 1Ghz PIII and 256MB of RAM. It takes about 2 minutes to get through it's BIOS, and even things like hitting F2 to go into BIOS setup take a long time to complete..... However, when it finally does get into GRUB, it's fast from there on out. I assembled the components myself, so I could have screwed up something, but the HDD, floppy, and CDROM seem to work fine, and like I said..it runs fine once it actually starts booting... Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear President of Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com ScryMUD: http://scry.wanfear.com http://scry.wanfear.com/~greear
