I know what you mean there! I helped out a friend of mine set up his system with the A7V and once we installed the promise drivers, it took about 2 minutes to start up! You might be able to disable it in the bios (doubt it), but I you also might want to try the new bios version for the board and see if that helps at all. You may have tried not installing the promise drivers for the ATA100 and just use the ATA66 IDE slots. That should cut down your start up time a little.
