theaverageidiot Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I've got a similar problem. I've got Kalyway 10.5.2 and it takes a good 4 to 5 minutes to boot up. Intel Core 2 Quad, NVidia 8800 GTS (512MB), 4GB RAM, G-P35-DSL3 Gigabyte motherboard.

ddjc Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I've got Kalyway 10.5.2 on a Q6600, ASUS P5K, 2GB ram, 8800GT and it boots in less than 2.5minutes Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104357-kalyway-boot-time/#findComment-745878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries326 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I've got a SG33G5 and mine boots in less than a minute. I've tried making a OSx86 in the past and when I put together this system, I chose the SG33G5 because the components in it looked like they were already supported.

saintjude Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I had very slow bootups with Kalyway when I had installed it as 10.5.1, then upgraded it to 10.5.2 with just the Kalyway updater. I re-installed it using the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD image and that took care of the problem.

I have a very similar issue, except that when I try to boot regularly all I get is a black screen and a mouse pointer. Could you post your BIOS settings so I could take a look and see if there's anything that I could use from there? I think my BIOS might be the problem. I can boot fine in safe mode.

albeaux Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 My boot time is now 25 sec. Running a fresh install of the new Kalyway 10.5.2 system over top of my prior installation of Kaly 10.5.1 (updated to 10.5.2) My first install of Kalyway 10.5.1 succeeded a couple of weeks ago, had a few glitches but ironed most of them out then installed the Kaly 10.5.2 updater. All seemed pretty good for the last two weeks except for two things; sound in and out was not working (which I finally fixed with Taruga's AD1988b_rev 4_Installer!) and what I thought was a pretty slow boot-time. I was experiencing 2.5 + minute restart from the Darwin bootloader. When I saw the new Kalyway 10.5.2 installer, I pulled down a copy and read through the docs. After using its included patcher to add in Taruga's modified sound kext, I burned the boot disk. Then I installed a fresh Mac OS Leopard on a separate external firewire hard disk. Strangely, the Darwin bootloader was never able to see the external disk in order to use it for the startup drive (something in the verbose log of the boot indicated the firewire bus wasn't properly indicating its level of security so it was put into full secure mode, what ever that means... I think that might be why my external HD was not seen by the bootloader,) so I wasn't able to see if there were any improvements to the New Kaly 10.5.2 over the original I already had loaded. After backing up my functioning hard drive to a disk image, I installed the new Kaly 10.5.2 over top of the existing system. On restart, new things happened right away. The Darwin bootloader popped up first with the Mac OS selected from my two choices of operating systems; XP and Mac OS Leopard... I selected Leo, and then 25 seconds later I was up on the Mac desktop. Later I checked out the Windows setup to make sure it still functioned fine. Darwin gave me the startup choices where I picked Windows XP, pressed enter, and was then presented with the XP bootloader/Chain0 set of choices, where I picked the Windows OS again and pressed enter. About 30 seconds later I was on the Windows desktop. Before the new install, I was always presented with the Windows bootloader first, then after picking the mac, the Darwin bootloader popped up next giving me 5 seconds to press a key or it would load the default OS of Windows XP. I would have to pick the mac a second time and then would proceed to the desktop about 2.5 minutes later. I like the new way better.

shootfr0mthehip Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hey, sorry i forgot to come back here and post. I know this will be absolutely useless. But, at the same period where i had slow boot times, i would also get error 10810 every couple hours. It seems silly, but after finding a fix for that error, the boot time problem simply, went away? I did nothing related that i can think of, except fixing disk permissions and running onyx.

evercleardoc Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 My boot time is around 30 sec or so... i can honestly say that my windows vista 64 ultimate HD Media center boots up way slower. to boot, it is so quick, I couldn't believe how much faster it would be on this machine, especially since it was designed for vista64... and vista64 doesn't even recognize my 4 gigs of ram even though it's physically there and the Mac OSX does. I thought 64 bit Vista Ultimate would show me 4gb of ram but this Hackintosh laptop is, IMHO close to a reall macbook or better and closer to a lowerend Dekstop. Go figure.

ghostdog_688 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hi folks, I'm new to these forums and I'm having similar issues with my ASUS X58L laptop. What causes this? Here are the specs: Intel Celeron M 575 processor (2.0GHz, single core) INTEL GMA X3100, 1Gb RAM. I would also like to have QE/CI up and running, as wel as my internal wifi card (An Atheros AR5B991), but that's low on the to-do list as I have a functioning external wifi card that I can work, but the boot times are the real killer. If you need any more info on my laptop, just reply. I tried searching the forums but didn't get very far. If anyone can help me with any of the above, please reply. EDIT: The full details of the error messages are available to me. Here's what I think's the problem: IOKitWaitQuiet() timed out while waiting to write kernel symbols Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104357-kalyway-boot-time/#findComment-1342964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
