Slow booting

[Martonijus]

Open up your config.plist and look for this:

<key>Boot</key>
<dict>
<key>Arguments</key>
<string>darkwake=0 -lilubeta</string>

That's where I added it.

There is nothing like this in my config.plist

Check what kexts you have in L/E or S/L/E. I had old versions of Lilu and IntelGraphicsFix kexts which were causing very long boot times. I removed this and made sure the updated kexts were in the EFI folder and it booted very quickly after that.

in L/E I have lilu kext but not in S/L/E. Should I delete it from L/E?

I would make sure this is the latest version (1.20 I believe)

 

[Martonijus]

I installed latest lilu kext, booting is still very slow

Have you tried booting in verbose mode to see where the boot up is hanging or any error messages that are coming up?

I tried to boot in verbose mode and everything went quite fast. Just few seconds "waiting for DSMOS" and "hash: /etc/rc.installer_cleanup: no such file or directory"

Search would be your best option I'm afraid. Have never received any of these errors mate - sorry

My boot got slow like the OP (went from seconds to a minute) when I changed Ig-platform-id from 0x59120000 to 0x59120003 in an attempt to get Quicksync working.
