BiTRiP Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi I have a dedicated machine for OSX86 using this components: Asus P5LD2 P4 3,6GHz 2 GB PC5300 250 GB IDE ATI X1600 SILENT Everthing works smoothly as heaven. Except one thing: When I startup my machine there is quiet long time between the bioscheck and the darwinloader. After the bios check I get a blanks screen with a cursor blinking for about 30 seconds and then suddenly the darwinloader comes up following by the nice bootscreen. Why takes this so much time. How can I remove that delay? I have no timing-settings in com.apple.boot.plist Who knows it?

Bruce Wang Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I believe it's "IOKitWaitQuiet ( ) timed out" error. There is a short thread about this issue, link as below: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=28117 I had the same problem when I installed 10.4.6 and 10.4.7 freshly. Since I couldn't solve it, I installed 10.4.5 and it booted normal.

BiTRiP Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thanks for your reply but the delay is actually BEFORE it loads OSX. This thread you posted looks like a delay IN the bootprocess of OSX. The delay if before its saying "Loading Darwin bla bla" BiTRiP Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28264-long-delay-before-osx-starts-up/#findComment-193698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wang Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I see. I don't recall anyone has posted such error in the forum. Bruce Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28264-long-delay-before-osx-starts-up/#findComment-193759 Share on other sites More sharing options...
troisd Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I have the same effect on my ADP clone. My delay occurs at the Intel splash screen. I guess it must be a BIOS thing. I haven't played with BIOS options to shorten the time since it doesn't bother me.
