avatar382 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I am having an issue with my iPC 10.5.6 install where there is a ~4 minute black screen delay right after the graphics driver loads in the boot process. By "black screen", I mean that the monitors are getting a signal, they are just displaying solid black. The process is like this: System POST -> White loading screen with Apple logo and spinning indicator (1 minute) -> black screen for 4 minutes -> blue screen for 10 seconds -> OSX desktop Previously, I was running Kalyway 10.5.4 with NVInject, no such issues. I've installed iPC 10.5.6 several times. The first time, I installed NVInject, I had the same issue. On my later installs, I generated an EFI string for graphics in the com.apple.Boot.plist file. It really does seem like this issue is graphics related, as it happens only after I install the EFI string or inject kext. Here is my hardware setup: GA-EP35-DS3L motherboard ASUS 8800GT Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor 4 GB DDR2 667 2 hard drives on ICH9 SATA Sony DVD-RW on 3rd ICH9 SATA Here's how I installed iPC 10.5.6: Initial install, base system only, no drivers Installed ICH10 package post install from iPC disc Installed Intel ICH9 driver from GA-EP35-DS3X Control Center Installed ALC888 package post install from iPC disc Installed CHUD.pkg Installed shutdown, restart, SMBIOS fixes from GA-EP35-DS3X Control Center Created graphics EFI string with OSx86 tools Ran software update Ran permissions repair Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/163251-very-long-boot-delay-after-installing-ipc-1056/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
