Thinkpad X301 slow BIOS start

[tehuelche]

Hi People

I am installed ubuntu 9.04

For a month I have the thinkpad.

Work fine all.(except finger reader for not support now in linux)

But from any days, after press power on button, the BIOS is slow.

From press button until seeing logo of "Thinkpad" they spend about 30 seconds

soon before to see "ME is initializing..." the speend other 38 seconds.

soon after "ME is initializing..." then sppeend 55 seconds.

Now:
"Power ON" -30 sec -> "Thinkpad Logo" -38 sec -> "ME is initializing..." -55 sec -> "GRUB" (system work fine)

Before:
"Power ON" -any seconds -> "GRUB" (system work fine)

I am test y diagnostics and work fine all.

There is some form to return to the normal state?

Any sugestion/orientation?

Sorry for my bad english

Thanks for reply
