Running the same board, but with a Duron 600@ 950Mhz. No big delays, power
to OS in about 18 seconds. system is as follows :
KT7 RAID
256MB Siemens CAS2 133mhz
30.7GB IBM 75GXP ATA100
Voodoo3 3000AGP
Sony Spressa 10X4X32
D-Link DFE-530
Have you tried going into the High point Bios (ctrl-h) and auto detecting
the drive again? Are the jumpers set correctly as master, or is it
defaulting to Cable select?
Cheers
