I have the same tyan board and test it. With HT(hyperthreading) disabled at BIOS settings, the same result is as ke.han had. (I could not see any ad*) With HT enabled, it boots entirely and I see all drives. But there remain problems about usb. Booting with HT disabled and usb keyboard => no keyboard reactions Booting with HT enabled and usb keyboard => keyboard responses, but after unplug-then-plug, it can't be attached (at unplug, print a "dettached" messages , but at plug, doesn't print an "attached" messages) Attachin two verbose boot log, one is HT-enalbed case and the other is HT-disalbed case.
