Topic: The boot take a while

[Stiven]

Hi everybody,

I've just installed SME 7 on a new box :

Duron 1200
Asus A7A266
512 Mo
1xCaviar 320Go (I intend to add a new one to use RAID 1)

1 - The installation seemed quite long : it take a while when reading hda
2 - The boot is quite long and take a while at the same place.

I suppose that the big capacity disks are not well supported by the mainboard (Asus A7A266) but I'm not sure.

Could you help me please.

Thanx a lot in adavnce.

2 - The boot is quite long and take a while at the same place.

Does this happen everytime you boot or only after configuration changes or updates?

[Stiven]

It happens at each boot even if no change or update have been proceeded.

because its a duron 1200 and a big harddrive this could take time when doing the quota checking.

At what stage during the booting up does it get slow?

I have 250GB hd's but running on a P4 3.2  which runs very fast.

The boot gets slow when printed at screen :

*********************************
hda <nb of sectors> sectors (320072MB) w/8192KiB cache <etc...>
 hda:
*********************************

and so when it's detecting RAID arrays
