strange question but one my reason trying to migrate into a mac is to have a less booting time.

using windows is like "I can make myself a coffee while waiting windows to load", hahaha...that's the extreeme way to say it. my windows XP doesn't boot that long, I was just wondering if leo could boot faster

 

but for the forst reboot after I installed leo, the booting was...quite long...but still ok when loading the GUI

but after I installed some NVinejct to enable QE and CI, the booting and loading got long enought to make me wait(loading dock, taskbar?, other volumes....and it;s still loading)

 

what about you guys?how long does it take to boot and load?

 

any chances of maing it faster?

The longest part of my boot is bios. Once mine gets to the Darwin bootloader.. i get about 4 spins of the gear and a flash of the screen and everything is fully loaded.

the darwin seems to fast but it's long when it comes to the grey screen with apple logoand also when loading the interface is long too...using tiger it usually pops out together at the same time

It detects and configures the temperature sensors on hardware. But on a hackintosh it does nothing. Brazil Mac Post patch removes it and it makes a hell of a difference.

 

EDIT: Dead Snake. Is your avatar Yuki Nagato? Ive never seen her drawn like that before.

Hmm.. I actually use a program called Temperature Monitor to monitor my CPU and Hard Drive temperatures and it seems like it works for me. I used Kalyway's 10.5.1 install and didn't remove anything. You sure it's safe to take that out?

wow, mines slow then, there must be some sort of problem! It takes about a minute and 5 seconds before I see the blue wallpaper screen, and about another 15 until it's all working. I don't even see the gray loading screen, all I see is the prompt to enter changes (as if I hit f8) and after I hit enter twice to bypass that, I just see all the system files and stuff loading.... any fixes out there?

My leopard boots more than triple the speed of XP and I didn't have to buy extra hardware for it.

 

Things not working right now:

Intel 3945abg wireless

Realtek HD Audio (from speaker...headphone is working)

Sleep mode

 

Tell me if you have any solution to my above problems..

Thanks

it takes like 20-25 seconds on my machine. I feel like the bios accounts for at least half of that time :) I haven't run Windows outside of vmware in years, but it seems to boot to gui faster than my slower gentoo box did, but not by much (less than 5 seconds).

OS X is between my Gentoo and Windows.

1. gentoo - about 13-16 secs.

2. osx - about 20-23 secs

3. winxp mce - about 40-50secs.

 

 

I haven't installed gentoo on this machine yet, but I figured it would be faster. That's good to know :(

3 spins of the Apple logo... two seconds... blue screen (two seconds) - desktop.

Although that is in a 500GB Samsung drive and a Q6600 running 3.0GHz...

I saw gentoo, which starting about 10secs :) If somebody is good administrator and knows what is where, they can do all with gentoo ;)

mine boots within 5 spins of the wheel and 5 more seconds after the blue screen appears (login windows after that, i disabled autologin). im running guid and vanilla kernel+acpiplatform kext. specs of my mt6840 are in my sig

 

EDIT: i have to say though, vista starts within 30 seconds. this laptop is fast for a value comp. (600 bucks at best buy when it first came out)
