GA-EP45-DS3L boots slow in AHCI mode

[bmunge]

Any way to speed this up? Would the latest bios help?

Thanks!

i've got the F10 BIOS running and it still takes forever. I don't know how to speed it up.

If you're talking about the time spent in the 'discovery' phase of the AHCI BIOS itself - there's no cure for it; if it's 'hung off' the ICH, it doesn't respond to keystrokes, and if it's on the GSATA (jMicron), hitting enter once it shows the select menu speeds it up, but you can't disable its 'wait for keystroke' function...
