    Drives Causing Boot Issues.

    Update: This system is working again. It takes 7 minutes to boot up though. I've been working with Supermicro tech support and they figure they know the problem. I have 2-SSD's that are SATA II, 2-HDD's that are SAS-2, and now 2-HDD's that are SAS-3. They said one is not supposed to mix SATA...
