RGH RGH2 Long booting time

on my falcon, connecting low loss cable shield to ground wont boot the console at all..

You are obviously not doing something correctly then.

Not at all, just a small percentage.

The entire tx beta team all have rgh2 boots 5 - 60 secs max.

Is this with the Revision C coolrunner? I know revision B came out because it was found that a 480PF cap on CPU_RST and a 68nf cap between CPU_PLL and ground made Jaspers boot reliably, but it's rather vague what was done that "improved boot times" with RGH2. Would you be able to elaborate? Is it nothing we can do to Rev B/A? I only ask because I have a ton of Rev B around.

My boot times are 1-2 minutes with a Falcon with the plastic casing removed (way higher with it on...odd). It seems the smallest thing causes a change in boot times.
