If you switch to VC4 as this delay is happening, do you see lots of IDE errors?
This is almost certainly a CD issue.

Comment 2 Ryan Powers 2003-04-01 13:16:11 UTC
No errors. It was in fact just those two hard disks that I tried it on that 
caused problems. I picked up an old 10GB drive and it worked fine. So, my bad.
