Hi all I just installed 8.0-RC1 amd64 on a 6 gpt disk ZFS raidz1 (following the guide on the wiki), but have problems on reboot with the newly installed ZFS aware loader. The loader runs correctly, but incredibly slowly. It takes about 2 hours to get to the point where it enumerates the BIOS disks, although when it gets to that point, it does not take a long time to enumerate each disk. It takes about 2 minutes for each character change of the spinner! Fully completing the loader takes somewhere between 2 and 8 hours (I got bored watching it), and works correctly. The loader from the memstick image works normally. Daichi GOTO experienced something similar back in January [1], but there didn't seem to be any resolution to that problem. Disabling AHCI has no effect. Interestingly, we both have P45 based motherboards. I will try installing 8.0-RC2 tonight, and try to save verbose boot logs, dmidecode etc. If there is any other information I should be looking at, please let me know.
