Hi

Has anyone experienced a 20 - 30s delay on boot with an A7N8X Deluxe board
with Win98SE?

I've experienced this with two of these boards both in machines running
Win98SE. The delay appears to happen just after the mouse drivers are loaded
when performing an interactive boot.

Both machines also refuse to write a bootlog.txt file.

Thanks

Tony
 
If the bootlog function does not work I'd think you have some other
problem. As to the delay during mouse driver loading, care to share
which mouse driver you are using? Logitech's mouse driver's tend to
search for all possible mice connected to the machine, including
probing serial ports, unless you modify some registry entries.

I have 2 of these mobos, both boot win98se quite quickly, but I'm not
using the logitech drivers, rather, I think 1 machine has the MS mouse
driver package (intellimous) and the other is using win98se builtin
mouse driver at this time.

Do you have one of the network ports configured for DHCP and not have a DHCP
server on your network? If you have a network device looking for a IP
address and there is nothing to give it a Win 98 system will hang on boot,
up to a minute and then timeout and continue booting. Either put in your own
IP in network settings or remove TCP/IP from the network device.

Google for Microsoft Bootvis and see if you can trace the boot delay
with that utility.
