Dead Snake Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 strange question but one my reason trying to migrate into a mac is to have a less booting time. using windows is like "I can make myself a coffee while waiting windows to load", hahaha...that's the extreeme way to say it. my windows XP doesn't boot that long, I was just wondering if leo could boot faster but for the forst reboot after I installed leo, the booting was...quite long...but still ok when loading the GUI but after I installed some NVinejct to enable QE and CI, the booting and loading got long enought to make me wait(loading dock, taskbar?, other volumes....and it;s still loading) what about you guys?how long does it take to boot and load? any chances of maing it faster?

agent-squirrel Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Takes mine about 25 seconds. Try remvoing AppleHWSensor.kext from the extensions folder.

mtotho Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 The longest part of my boot is bios. Once mine gets to the Darwin bootloader.. i get about 4 spins of the gear and a flash of the screen and everything is fully loaded.

agent-squirrel Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 It detects and configures the temperature sensors on hardware. But on a hackintosh it does nothing. Brazil Mac Post patch removes it and it makes a hell of a difference. EDIT: Dead Snake. Is your avatar Yuki Nagato? Ive never seen her drawn like that before.

Brazil Mac Post patch removes it and it makes a hell of a difference. EDIT: Dead Snake. Is your avatar Yuki Nagato? Ive never seen her drawn like that before. Hmm.. I actually use a program called Temperature Monitor to monitor my CPU and Hard Drive temperatures and it seems like it works for me. I used Kalyway's 10.5.1 install and didn't remove anything. You sure it's safe to take that out? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83513-how-fast-does-your-leo-boot/#findComment-593320 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branndon Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 wow, mines slow then, there must be some sort of problem! It takes about a minute and 5 seconds before I see the blue wallpaper screen, and about another 15 until it's all working. I don't even see the gray loading screen, all I see is the prompt to enter changes (as if I hit f8) and after I hit enter twice to bypass that, I just see all the system files and stuff loading.... any fixes out there?

macgirl Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 20 seconds, Vista is awfully slow almost 2 mins, XP a minute and 30 seconds, to catch the wifi signal it also takes 20 or more seconds, Kubuntu like a minute or less.

rtomek Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 it takes like 20-25 seconds on my machine. I feel like the bios accounts for at least half of that time I haven't run Windows outside of vmware in years, but it seems to boot to gui faster than my slower gentoo box did, but not by much (less than 5 seconds).
