x986123 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I got everything fully working and I love it! But I have a slow boot! My specs are below in my signature, and I am using iPC 10.5.6 ppf5 with the Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel. It takes about one minute to 2 minutes and my Xbench scores are 120... pretty good. My HDD scores a bit lower than normal, but not to much of a difference compared to a 24" imac. Any fixes?

weaselchops Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 You got any USB or Firewire devices such as hard disk, iPod etc etc? I had an issue last week where my machine took about 3 mins to show a login screen, turned out to be a faulty ipod that was slowing things down! Boot with "-v" and see where it hangs. Check the console app for additional time related entries.
