That sounds like a tool the mods here need to keep some of us in line!

It was a couple of months back that I was trying it with the minimal ISO hoping to use the XBMC minimal script. As soon as I start the minimal install I'll see the problem. I think, and I stress think, that it's an older version of the e1000 driver, or kernel module, that's included in the ISO that doesn't work with the chipset. This is what causes the problems, so modprobe e1000 won't work. As I said, I'll play with it this weekend and post back the results.

If this has already been discussed elsewhere, I'd appreciate a link where I can read more about it. The reason I want to know is simply because I recently put one together using the $144.00 Celeron model from Amazon and mine takes approximately 22 seconds.
Here's what I used for the build:
Intel NUC DCCP847DYE, 8GB SanDisk Cruzer USB stick, 2GB Crucial Single DDR3 1333 memory stick and the Intel Network Centrino Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module.
I wonder if it has to do with the lack of a mSATA drive since I'm not using one. I'm booting off of the USB stick running OpenELEC directly into XBMC.
I'm very happy with the results, but I'm just curious as to how people are getting the NUC to boot into XBMC in 10 seconds.
I'm guessing it's the fact that I'm using the Wi-Fi dual band module and the lack of a mSATA, but that's just me guessing. Thanks in advance.

Quote:Overall I'm very satisfied with it's performance, but if there's anything else I can do to make it much better and/or faster, I truly believe this NUC and OpenELEC is almost perfect combination.
