Slow IDE detection

I have a machine here cobbled together out of spare parts. One HDD (IDE 0 , cable select), one CD-ROM (IDE 1, cable select), no floppy drive. Problem is, when it boots, it takes it a couple of minutes to detect the two drives. Both work fine, and as far as I can tell, should be detecting fine, but no dice.

The bios is set to disable the floppy, boot from CDROM first then HDD.

Any help is appreciated--this is most annoying.
