I am stuck between rock and hard place, and really need expert advice to figure out the problem and hopefully find a fix.

Normally, my machine boots up in less than 1 minute – let us call it fast boot mode; then after a few reboot, it will got into this slow boot mode, and it takes a few minutes.

For fast boot mode:

  • Fast boot
  • Video animation stuff works such as the dock Gene effects
  • Clock appears to be normal
  • Bluetooth works (I have no way to turn it off from bios, cannot find such option)
  • Audio works, but headphone has no sound

Slow mode

  • Slow boot
  • Video animation stuff runs in slow motion
  • Clock runs much more slow like 4 ~5 time slower that the true clock
  • Bluetooth not working
  • Audio works including headphone, but it has intermittent sound like someone repeatedly pressing the play and pause button.

I have the system.log included, the first BOOT_TIME is the fast mode, the second BOOT_TIME is the slow mode. The log event times for second BOOT_TIME cannot be trusted because the clock is broken at this mode.

Which bootloader are you using? What were your procedures for installing?
 
Clover... the initial USB one was created using clover installer, the new one is created by copying stuff from USB Clover folder to EFI partition of hard drive then tweaked to this state.

What version of Clover? What about the second question?
 
Sorry. It is Clover v2K.2652.

In terms of procedures for installing.

1. Plug in created 10.9.2 bootable USB
2. Boot from EFI partition
3. Choose the bootable USB
4. Install 10.9.2
5. Boot up the new install
6. Replace AppleHDA with the patched one.

That is about it.

Did you need to install a bootloader, setup config.plist, do DSDT patches, install FakeSMC, etc. etc... Complete details are necessary.

What is the contents of your config.plist?
 
Here is my config.plist. I haver clover boot loader boot from EFI partition, inject kexts including fakesmc, GenericUSBXHCI, ACPIBatteryManager and voodoops2.

I found actually I have three modes. I suspect there are two different things going on. One would be the on surface a "conflict" between bluetooth and headphone. One works then the other won't. Another issue might be related to time, where bluetooth fails and time is way off.

1. Fast mode without bluetooth
  • Power off machine completely and boot up, about 50% times I am able to get int this mode
  • Bluetooth is off
  • Sound works fully including headphone
  • Everything else works normally

2. Slow mode without bluetooth

  • Power off machine completely and boot up, the other 50% times I end up in this mode
  • Bluetooth not working
  • Everything is super slow
  • Time is way off
  • Intermittent audio for both speaker and headphone
3. Fast mode with bluetooth
  • Boot into OSX by rebooting from Linux where bluetooth was turned on by default
  • Sound works but headphone has no sound
  • Everything else appears to be normal.
