[cite] bhast2:[/cite]i have the same problem my boot up time is anywhere from 2 to 4 mins
and it is because of the AppleNforceATA
Have to wait for an update from MedEvil to improve this

[cite]MeDevil[/cite]UPDATE 23-dec-2007:
I've fixed the driver because it was not handling atapi drive(s). The detection mechanism should be much fast now, however it will slow down a bit the boot process when trying to detect drive(s) on an empty channel. (i'll try to fix this in the next release).
This kext should also resolve the "still waiting for root device".
User with MCP55 chipset: please test this kext and report if it is working!

I hope he's still working on it.

[cite] Puttabong:[/cite]Yes, it seems like the problem is related to your AppleNForceATA, the initialization of my disks take a second!
This is what I see when booting up:

Don't know if it will make any difference to you, but do you have any of your controllers turned off?
I found with the older medevil kext I could skip any delay by turning all the controllers on and specifying no device in bios, turn any of the controllers off and had a big delay.

It takes 55 seconds from "Press any key..." to full system boot

from darwin to hd inactivity (with all the programs loaded) it takes 34 seconds on my Athlon 64 3000+. I also have some nforceata delay.

Dude your so full of your self it makes me sick. no intel macs load the Whole os that fast. Im not here to flame on you but i cant help call you out on that stupid lie.

[cite] WinLinMac01:[/cite]It takes 7 seconds to load the O/S while the White screen appears before it goes into the actual desktop (14 seconds includes system BIOS appearing at startup). I do believe this is fast, however, as when install multiple applications the boot time can be as high as 40 seconds in some areas. 7 seconds is with default setup. - Cheers! =)

[cite] Puttabong:[/cite]It's a good utility to measure the time, isn't it? ;-) Sorry, It wasn't my purpose to show off, buddy :-)

@WinLinMac, that's incredibly fast - congratulations!!

Lol, but its true!

Who said that Mac's were even better. Sometimes they're not as fast depending on specifications. =) However, I did state that my boot times varies between 7-14 seconds. Its fast, so don't take it to deep. Lol.

12 seconds on my Intel, will have to test my AMD to see if its as fast. This is to desktop with all processes finished loading.

iMac | $1499 20"

Gateway One | $1800
Average startup 1 min. 13 sec.

MacBook* (Penryn) | $1299
Average startup 41.6 sec.

i dont think anything under 10-15 seconds is accurate.
