I am experiencing some very strange behaviour with MorphOS and my hardware.

Before, I used to boot from an IDE hard disk connected to the Amiga's internal controller. When I wanted to boot MorphOS, I had to hold down the left mouse button to disable the Algor Pro 3 times - before choosing the boot partition from Early Startup Control, before loading the MorphOS kernel, and before rebooting into the MorphOS kernel. This worked and there were no long delays. This was also before I got Chris' new bootloader.

Now, I am booting from a SCSI hard disk connected to my CyberStorm.

With the Algor removed, I can boot into MorphOS in seconds, without any problems.

But with the Algor inserted - with, OR without Chris' new bootloader (which does seem to be saving me the hassle of disabling the flashrom!) - MorphOS takes FOREVER to boot! It will literally take 5 minutes waiting on a black screen, 5 minutes waiting at the butterfly logo, and then eventually, my Ambient desktop appears.

Anything requiring the hard disk to load makes the computer run at an insanely slow speed and it takes ages to process what it's doing,

Any ideas?

Thanks! :)
