As far as the slow bootup, I experience this also but for me it happens only once and ONLY when I flash either TO bios 1005 or FROM Bios 1005 to a different bios e.g. 0901. Every other bios I flashed to the system would restart and boot up normally. But only when I flash to bios 1005, the system restarts and 'hangs' for a few seconds. During this time the monitor goes to standby, and some of the lights on the board turn off and the Q_LED DRAM light is lit. It seems to me it is doing some type of longer memory check or bios microcode update which takes a while. Don't know the reason behind this but only happens with Bios 1005.

I also recommend clearing CMOS before and after flashing bioses. Will be posting all bios results shortly.
The slow bootup started once I flashed to 1005 and ever since. I revert back to 0901 and the problems no more existing. I have yet to test the 1102.
