Dear Timothy, dear Damien,
looking through the board status data, I noticed the boot time increased by one second for the ASUS KGPE-D16.
``` asus/kgpe-d16/4.3-584-gcc9963e/2016-03-25T19_52_04Z/coreboot_timestamps.txt:Total Time: 18,389,685 asus/kgpe-d16/4.3-587-gec38c3d/2016-03-26T21_40_56Z/coreboot_timestamps.txt:Total Time: 19,425,140 ```
Did the hardware configuration change, or did commit ec38c3d9 (nb/amd/amdmct: Select max_lanes based on ECC presence or absence) [1] do that?
Maybe the command below shows you some pointers in the board status repository.
``` diff -ru asus/kgpe-d16/4.3-584-gcc9963e/2016-03-25T19_52_04Z asus/kgpe-d16/4.3-587-gec38c3d/2016-03-26T21_40_56Z/ ```
Thanks,
Paul

PS: Here the differences of the time stamps.
