s.goten Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi, I've have a little issue with Lion boot (but the same was under Snow) Sometimes the boot hangs at begins (but no kernel panic, simply when the boot logo appears and the hard disk should start loading it don't load) and I have to force shutdown with the power button. Then, at the new restart the boot goes on without problems. What could be the cause of this problem? I tried many chameleon's versions but nothing changes Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/270545-sometimes-lion-boot-hangs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pein Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 have the same problem. sometimes it boot right to desktop and others stuck at PCI Configuration begin.

Biso007 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I had the same problem and I found that I can "usually" boot normally if kernel cache was not used. You can achieve it by either using -f flag or "UseKernelCache=No" in the ~boot.plist file. The only side effect is a slightly longer boot time.

scannerfm77 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Same thing with mine. Need to push reset button after the first loading. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/270545-sometimes-lion-boot-hangs/#findComment-1767174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried many chameleon's versions but nothing changes Thanks in advance I think you can have a try to add the code below into the com.apple.Boot.plist or org.chameleon.Boot.plist: <key>SystemId</key> <string>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</string> Something like: 44454C4C-5000-1092-8087-B9C04F365081 (the last 12 code may be your mac address) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/270545-sometimes-lion-boot-hangs/#findComment-1767335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
