edwardgtxy Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I have kind of narrowed the problem down to DSMOS has arrived, since it seems there are many people who got stuck after this message. ================================================================================================ I tried using -x -f and got problems with AppleRTC, I was able to pass it by forcing it to run in 32bit mode; however, it still got stuck, without any kernel panic msgs. The last msgs on the screen are:: Resetting IOCatalogue.

cyberbuddhah Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 My desktop has already spent 1hr at the spinning wheel, however, hd light is constantly flashing. Any thoughts? Thanks, Edward Upgrade from 10.6.8 takes 5 minutes with blank screen ( scare me) for the first few boots then it's very quick afterward. Fresh install, first few boots also takes longer then again quick. I think Lion needs to build new cache.

Pink Waters Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Fixed it by reinstalling lion over the current one again. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/262884-first-boot-taking-forever/#findComment-1718431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
