6.2 loader hangs on Supermicro P8SCT

I am seeing the loader hang during a normal boot (but not when booting from 
the install CD).

I can work around it by shortening the boot delay to around 1 second. If it is 
any longer the count time timer stops and is is unresponsive to any input 
except the reset switch.

Also, if I break into the loader prompt in time I can then do things as 
normal.. very odd!

Does anyone know of a proper fix for it? This work around is very kludgy :(
