I can understand a new beta bios being different to a previous bios in compatability etc, but I would have thought the bios should at least be complete before posting. With this I refer to F9p for the UD5.
I figured out the root cause of me not beiing able to boot from the DVD drive while in AHCI mode on my EP45-DS3.
There's a timing issue that's been present since BIOS F9 where the DVD drive doesn't spin up until after the BIOS times it out in the boot sequence.
I can work around the issue by pressing F12 to go to the boot menu and waiting til the DVD drive spins up and turns its LED off before selecting the drive from the boot menu. I can then boot from the DVD as per normal.
The original BIOS that came with my board (F8) didn't have this issue and I could boot from the DVD drive with no issues and without having to go through the boot menu.
I actually found this workaround in this thread (found through Google).

Hi slopoke please could you let me know where you can download the F9p bios for the UD5. I am sure the mods would not mind you posting where to get it from until atleast this site has a working version. Thanks.
I've just flashed to EP45-UD3p F10k and can confirm that the disappearing network adapter problem when using QuickBoot has been fixed. I can't tell if any other changes have been made, everything seems to be running the same as on F10j, apart form that bug fix.
It does seem that there has been a display bug introduced in this version though. As you will all know, when changing values that have totals calculated for them such as multiplier, RAM multi etc, as soon as you navigate away from that field, the projected spped of the component is re-calculated and displayed. All work fine except the CPU speed indicator when changing the CPU multi. No matter the Multi selected, the display will show |CPU speed as being FSB x max multi and not FSB x Multi selected, eg I run a 9.5 multi and the projected CPU speed sticks at 10.5 x 411 = 4315MHz. This is just a display bug, actual CPU speed is set correctly.
