tjrolka Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I am experiencing a problem with my new snow leopard installation where it hangs on boot up. it takes my machine at least 2 and a half minutes to boot up to my login screen. Where the os appears to be pausing at this point where i receive the following:VMnet: "VnetUserIfFree: Freeing UserIF" followed by a series of numbers. Does any one know what can be done to resolve this and decrease my boot up time? thanks, tjrolka my specifications are: - dell inspiron 530 - intel P35 mother board with a 2.40 Ghz intel core 2 quad Q6600 processor - 3gb DDR2 dual channel ram - 1TB WD hard drive - PNY Verto 9600GT 1gb gfx card - currently using a belkin wireless gaming adapter running through the ethernet - have VMware Fusion 3.0.0 with various vm's installed Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/208109-slow-snow-leopard-boot-time-due-to-vmnet-vnetuseriffree-freeing-userif/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z0ID Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Ive got the same problem, not only in 10.6 also in 10.5 the booting is about 5-10sec slower than without Fusion. So I use Q (OSX port of Qemu) for emulation its opensource. Has anyone Parallels Workstation, and can anyone post advantages/disadvantages using parallels or VMware.
