How I fixed boot hanging at the end

Hello people,

 

I was having the following error: The boot was hanging at the end, so all the operations were complete, but the video wouldn't show (you could type in the boot console, so it was not a problem with the video not showing).

 

After some minutes (and I mean 2+) it would swap to a grey screen with no cursor.

 

So I added npci=0x2000 to the com.apple.Boot.plist, under <key>Kernel Flags</key> and now It boots WAY FASTER (also fixed the problem). This also "fixes" when after the boot ends, your screen goes grey and after some seconds the login screen appears, it now shows the login screen instantaneously.

 

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>npci=0x2000</string>

 

Hope that if you have the same problem, this helps you.

What exactly did you add? Did you add it in as a key and a string? Or just a string?

 

<key>npci</key>
<string>0x2000</string>

 

or this

 

<string>npci=0x2000</string>

 

Sorry for not explaining, I'll edit the main post.

 

I added npci=0x2000 under <key>Kernel Flags</key>
