Thank you Bill i will take a look at the page later today and see what i can 
do.

Welcome!

Forgot to mention - do this first - it will require four to eight reboots:

1) Interrupt POST, enter BIOS, look for 'PNP/PCI Configuration' (or similar)
    set MB BIOS to 'PNP OS Installed: NO' or similar.
- reboot, tel DFLY to boot 'With ACPI Disabled (2)
   observe time-out on the SATA, , save dmesg to a
   file and add your comments as to the above
   settings and results.
 - Do the same with DFLY normal boot.

3) Change MB BIOS to 'PNP OS installed: YES'
     do two re-boots, as above ACPI-aware and not.
- If the SATA is on the MB, repeat with it enabled/disabled.

- If the SATA is add-on, try interrupting the Sil BIOS
   and see if it has more than one mode...
- If comparison of the above is still 'no joy',
   see if the MB has a 'boot other devices' setting
   that can be optioned off, and if that makes any difference.
Only then - if still 'no joy' will you have to look at
modifying the DragonFly device scan.
(Else live with the delay, or yank the Sil controller.)

HTH,

dfly hangs about a minute on the boot up when it's trying to recognise my 
SATA controller.But i have disabled my SiL 3112 SATA conroller in bios but 
it's searching anyway. i got a warning message after the acd0 on the boot 
up too. i have pasted a bit from my dmesg in here too.

Giving up, interrupt routing is probably hosed
