Detection of AHCI drives happens very slowly - P5B-Del

[graysky]

Detection of AHCI drives happens very slowly since I enabled this option for my two SATA drives (non-raid). This happens on a reboot or startup right after it POSTs. It takes about 10 secs to detect each drive and when they get detected, each one literally "clicks." If I disable AHCI there is no problem with detection nor with clicking. If I hit the reset switch after they are detected (like forcing a reset of the O/S), this lag doesn't happen (it's instantaneous).

Anyone else having this issue with this board? I'd like to fix this. I'm running the latest BIOS (1101 I think).

Thanks all!

Here's the solution: upgrade to the latest driver.

Seems to be a small bug making the drives power down just before windows reboots. The new version fixes it.
