I added a PCI SATA controller to my computer. Immediately after grub

both from Debian, and 2.6.11 from Knoppix, all of which experience the
same delay.

Hello, Tejun. Thanks for the reply.
The message displayed by the bootloader, grub, is...
root (hd2,2)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1-k7 root=/dev/md0 ro nodma
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1600, size=0x122a667]
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.11-1-1-k7
[Linux-initrd @ 0x1fb29000, 0x4c6000 bytes]
boot
At this point there is a nine minute, fifteen second delay. As soon as
the kernel starts printing messages it goes by quite fast, so I can't
be certain what it's printing, but the first message according to
dmesg is...
Linux version 2.6.11-1-k7 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.6 (Debian
1:3.3.6-6
)) #1 Mon Jun 20 21:26:23 MDT 2005
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
It's doing something BIOS-related at that point.
Try booting with 'edd=off' or disabling CONFIG_EDD.
