Middleman Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 If it boots slow it's probably either your SSD drive or your Nvidia MX110 card or both. The Maxsun I don't think is a supported M.2 drive for macOS and the Nvidia MX110 is not supported in Sonoma (as Nvidia support has largely been removed from macOS since High Sierra). Your best option is to get a WD M.2 drive such as WD Blue or Black SN570 or 770/850/850X. For the GPU just disable or remove the Nvidia card and use only the Intel IGPU on your Core i5-8250U to boot Sonoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've blocked out the NVIDIA GeForce MX110 and enabled the IGPU, which is normal in Ventura, and problematic in Sonoma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, that's because the i5-8250U is a Kaby Lake R chip. I only realised that just now. You do know that Kaby Lake support has been removed in Sonoma? Only starting from Coffee Lake is supported now. So Ventura is the last best OS you can use on your current system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I don't know because never tested but may be FakeID for iGPU will help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confirmed today that this problem was caused by SATA mechanical hard disk. After removing the mechanical hard disk, the boot speed returned to normal. How to shield the mechanical hard disk?
