Hi,
I recently reinstalled 8.10 and now have been seeing the time that it takes for my bios to detect the hard drives take a long time (usually about 60 sec). It will detect them eventually, and proceeds to load grub. One thing I noticed is after the reinstall, ubuntu seems to detect both drives as /dev/sdx instead of /dev/hdx. Any help would be great. Thanks!
Here is my fdisk -l output:
