Hey all.. I'm aving a problem with a slow bootup. After lilo pops up and i select linux, it brings me to the screen where it shows the OK and FAILED stuff. It doesnt show any text at all for about 30-45 seconds, then it will continue on with the normal bootup. I have linux installed on my other system and it doesnt do this. Anyone know why? Running Mandrake Linux 9.1 with stock kernel.
amd xp 2000
a7n8x deluxe mobo
768mb's ram
boot drive is an ide WD 40 gig
other drive hooked up is a WD sata drive that has dma, and uata disabled untill it finishes booting up. dont know if the drive info matters or not. only stuff on the sata drive is backup files and games.
anyways.. any other info needed, just ask. am new to linux, so will have to explain how to get the info

thanks for any replies.
