Updates to my last comment: I'm now running BIOS version 0085 (never could successfully install 0081) and the grub causes no longer delays during the boot plus the BIOS itself boots much faster. I have two Samsung 750GB SATA drives connected as SATA0 and SATA1 and SATA2 is a DVD-RW drive.
The board works otherwise fine but there's long pause in the boot process with the same messages: [ 0.937109] pci 0000:00:02.0: Boot video device [ 8.936007] pci 0000:00:1a.7: EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug?) 01010001 [ 16.936007] pci 0000:00:1d.7: EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug?) 01010001 I tried to report this issue to intel but I could not find any official way to report bugs. I submitted the bug report to visitor survey, and I can only hope that it will be forwarded to the correct people. -- slow boot on intel DG45ID https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275351 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
