Hi RehabMan, thanks for the response, I really appreciate your hints. Just to be sure I'm not misunderstanding your proposals:
>> - FixUSB_1000 not needed. remove.
* Removed.
>> - CPU PM not implemented
I have no idea of what should I do so I just tried to apply what I found from posts of other similar motherboards/cpus:
* Compiled and copied /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/SSDT-PluginType1.am
* AppleIntelCPUPM => true
* KernelPM => true
* Generate C States => true
* Generate P States => true
Please correct me if this is completely wrong, I would appreciate a link to the right direction.
>> - native support for SATA 8086:a282 is missing (add SATA-200-series-unsupported.kext)
* I couldn't find the "official" source, but the kext I found is just an Info.plist which seems to inject 8086:a282 to com.apple.driver.AppleAHCIPort. And it loads fine.
>> - kexts not installed correctly (all kexts should be installed to the system volume)
* Copied all kexts to /System/Library/Extensions
* Flushed kext cache, permissions, etc...
>> - USB not implemented correctly (see my USBInjectAll guide)
* Added patch "Change 15 port limit to 24 in XHCI kext 10.13" to AppleUSBXHCIPCI under Clover's KextsToPatch
* Renamed EHC1->EH01
* Renamed EHC2->EH02
* Renamed XHCI->XHC
* Renamed XHC1->XHC
That fixed USB 3.0 devices previously were not working (only when plugging them on USB 2.0 socket)
>> - VirtualBox tends to interfere with USB. remove.
>> - you have a bunch of things hooking your USB (Google Chrome, Plex Tuner Service)
That's crap but I guess I will have to live with it?
>> - check boot logs for other things that may cause delays
Unfortunately none of the above fixed the slow boot time, but I could see the huge delay was caused during the lines (see attached capture):
`fusion_wbc_thread_shutdown:1130: Consider Fusion WBC Elevator thread of container XXX`
However and after all, I managed to fix the huge slowdown, I still don't know the real issue (maybe a faulty hfs+ conversion to apfs on an earlier beta) but the following fixed it:
My primary boot disk had two partitions one with 10.12.6 (first partition, HFS+) and another with 10.13 GM (second partition, APFS).
* Deleted the 10.12.6 partition (HFS+)
* Created a new APFS container with a new APFS partition using the free space from the first deleted partition
* Used CCC to copy the 10.13 GM partition to the new APFS partition
* Deleted the old 10.13 GM partition
* Resized the first partition to fit the whole disk.
The boot is now as blazing fast as when I was on 10.12.6 with HFS+.
Thank you so much for your support
