I'm seeing the same behavior on a Supermicro X8DT3 BIOS. The latest BIOS = update changed the behavior from hanging forever to hanging for 2 = seconds before rebooting. The problem occurs with BETA3 and RC1, but not with BETA2. Changing SATA mode from AHCI to IDE in the BIOS gets the OS to boot just = fine.
