slow boot

Greetings, I finally built my Hackintosh and installed Sierra. After a few normal reboots this started happening: the Clover interface shows up, the progress bar under the Apple logo starts normally and then, near the end it slows almost to a stop. Then the video cuts to black and get the...

I'm a bit stumped on this one. I was trying to bring an old box back to life (Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H) which had been running 10.11 as the latest OS. It's back together with a mish-mash of parts and replacing my wife's seldom-used desktop (which was an old Core2Duo). I figured this would be...

Hi tonymac family. After having some problems with random freezes, I realized that the problem that was causing the freezes in my hackintosh was that I was using Inject Intel (with a 740 Nvidia Card). Now, I'm booting without injections, but about 40 secs slower than when I was booting with...

Hi all, I did a fresh install of El Capitan on my SSD but the boot times are just too long. It takes 1 minute for my hackintosh to fully boot up. I am currently using the iMac13,2 SMBIOS and am using my own SSDT.aml file as the nullcpupowermanagement.kext did not work well for me. Only issue...

So I'm running El Capitan 10.11.3 on a Lenovo Yoga 2 with a SSD. My boot time used to be 12-15 seconds on 10.11.2, but as of the recent update, its reaches 18-20 seconds. I wonder if my boot should be faster than either of those two. After Clover boots, I get the Apple logo, and the status bar...

I successfully updated to El Capitan and Clover. Was using Chameleon/Chimera. Everything seems to be working great so far, but haven't had time to put it through it's paces yet. The one thing I noticed is that boot time has doubled/tripled from Yosemite/Chimera. Is this normal, or can I...

My hackintosh was running great using Chameleon, but in the world of Hackintoshing, nothing is ever truly 100%, so I'm playing around with Clover to see if things can get even better. I have successfully installed clover to a USB stick and am successfully booting from it into my hack, but the...

Okay, so everything on my Hackintosh is working fine after the 10.10.2 update. However, even on my initial installation on 10.10.1 AND after this update too 10.10.2, i seem to be getting slower SSD boot time than everyone else. :( Some people's SSD builds power up in as little as lik 5-10...

Hi, I hope you can help me with this one! Everything is alright and working well, except... ...the really slow and laggy boot process, which takes 8-10 seconds to finish the timeout bar (even though it's set in 2 seconds in the boot.plist). and also a lot of time to read the first lines in...

Hey all, I have an issue. Without any peripherals plugged in, my SSD boots Mavericks incredibly quickly. In about 15 seconds or so. However, because I use my Hackintosh for Pro Tools, I have a UAD Apollo Twin plugged into the Thunderbolt port and it has to be in on startup, otherwise the...

Hi im new to this so sorry in advance for any mistakes i make. My system is a new build and i wasn't able to boot into the installer without using the boot flag -x and i it worked. Now that everything is done i still can't boot without using -x .... i tried to see how long it takes to boot up...

This is in regards to my second build: Asus z9pe-d8 ws Motherboard EVGA Nvida GTX 770 Graphics Card Dual 2.3 GHz Intel Xeon Processors 32GB ram Mavericks installation and post installation went smoothly in safe mode. However, when I boot without safe mode it gets held up at ****...

Hello all, is anybody else experiencing problems with very slow boot times on their build? I just updated from 10.6.8 to Mavericks and everything is working fine...except for the boot time. It takes more than a minute to boot ( at spinning ring) and when the login screen appears, it is very slow...

Hi everyone. Here my installation way. I purchased ML and making bootable usb with unibeats. In order to boot, I had to discard my gtx 660. Then I could boot and install it. After I finish install, I setup nvidia driver form nvidia.com. I add network kext and with multibeast I install easybeast...

hey there guys, i have recently built my second hackintosh, it is a GA-Z77-DS3H mb with a intel i5 3570k and a nvdia 8400 GS in it, it has 4gb of ram and is running mountain lion. (if you need any more info, plz ask) i have just reinstalled it to a SSD i had in a notebook i dont use...

So I have been looking everywhere trying to come up with a solution for this 1:30 boot time on this new SSD build. I found it after some hours of testing various things. Key is to disable the Onboard VGA check on the MB. See the screen shot. It went from 1:15-1:30 boot time to 15 seconds! I...

I just got ML going, and it seems to be working OK, once it boots. When I run it with -v, I can see a HUGE part of the time is taken up by loading TONS of kext files. What's the best way to go about only loading the appropriate ones?
