Hi,

During the boot time, it takes an extremely long delay between the IDE and
SCSI devices information.
The reason is not the IDE devices detection because it is already done, nor
the SCSI devices detection as the delay is before the Adaptec CTRLA message
to enter into the BIOS. Nothing happens, no information displayed, just a
very long moment (more than 1 minute) to wait.

A7N8X rev 1.06 - BIOS rev 1007
Athlon XP 2000+
Memory 2 x 256 DDR400
Harddisk IDE Maxtor Diamond Plus
Video Asus V6800
2930U SCSI Adapter
Creative SB Live! 5.1 Digital (onboard audio disabled)

Can somebody tell me whether it is normal or not and then why it is not ?
Is there a way to reduce this delay ?

Many Thanks
Jean-Luc
