This is really stupid.
I have added a SATA PCI controller and new SATA disks.
The SATA disks are not the boot disk.
When the computer is booting the SATA card is detected and RAID options
are presented (Ctrl-R to enter RAID setup).
Then a message about some USB thing (sorry the computer is remote so I cannot see the exact message).
Then a message comes saying:
F1 to continue F2 to enter setup
Unless F1 is hit nothing happens!! The boot process stops.
This has only happen since I added the SATA card so that is suspect but I really do not have a clue of as to where to look or what to do next besides throwing out the SATA card and disk.
I guess that will be the first thing to try i.e remove the SATA controller and see what happens that should begin to isolate this problem the prompt should not occur if it is caused by the SATA card.
Does anybody have insight or suggestions? I can not be the first to see this.
Thanks for the help.
