How slow? We have four desktop machines running FC6 that initially took 5-10 minutes to boot. It seems a bug in the Fedora kernels was disabling DMA on our SATA controller or drives. The mainline and Ubuntu kernels, in contrast, work fine. We now use the boot parameter ide0=noprobe to work around the problem on FC6.
