Wizi Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 On my MacBook C2D 2.0GHz with 2GB of RAM Leopard loading definitely takes much longer than Tiger. The Desktop appears in seconds, but the hard drive is constantly reading for at least 30 sec. more witch actually makes the system unusable. The "real" problem is shutting the Leo down. Compared to Tiger it just takes eternity No idea what the problem might be.... On the other hand a good friend of mine with an old iBook Pro 12" is more that pleased after upgrading to Leopard. Shall wait few more days until 10.5.2 is released and if doesn't bring the promised Intel based Mac's speed improvement will definitely switch back to Tiger.

Synaesthesia Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Well it's just a G4 800mhz. My P4 3.0ghz is faster than a G5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppleHWSensor.kext is already removed and i set sata/ide from enhanced to legacy and disabled every sata port. nothing changed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiranofice Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 i have a macbook 2,2 ghz and it boots 10.5.2 in about 45 secs, my pentium 4 hackintosh boots leopard in about 27-30 secs, why is there such a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhai Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 My Dell is ready in OSX after 40 secs from when I press power button, including 3 secs waiting at darwin boot prompt. But there are many factors which decide boot time. If you have IOKit errors in your log is hardly because of bugs in IOKit but in one of your other kexts.

fdboy Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I can confirm that this may be due to some failures in detecting some hardwares. In my case, it's the PC card. After I updated chunnan's fix: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry768475 the laptop boots in seconds compared to 5 minutes originally (reported as iokit wait).

fdboy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 How would you go about lowering the boot timeout? Mine's currently 5 seconds which I feel is unnecessary... edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist change Timeout to 1, or 0?(haven't tested, sounds crazy!).

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Can I just reduce the number? Just because I may need to switch kernel occasionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Yes, absolutely. But to reach the menu if it's been deleted, just hit F8 at startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
