Huge boot time speed up removing DSMOS.kext!

Removed!

I don't think DSMOS issue is a problem in general, think it was just a problem for me so I don't recommend removing it.
I have since moved to an Intel system, far easier and I'm now running x64 10.6.6 very fast

dsmos

k so i deleted it from s/l/e and e/e ...repaired perms...cleared .caches exts etc...
but it stilll tries to load it at verbose but obviously doesnt find it ...so i (having multiple hd's and backups....had to restore it.......is it truly the reason for slow amd...nforceata loads? ive had my hacks boot in 7 spins on intel/nvidia.
with amd/ati 60 spins. not a huge deal ..boot time and actual running performance are not related., my m2n68am plus mobo is cruising after the 1 min boot time. i shaved hella time off shutdown by adjusting the kextcache permission issues :: ie " / wasnt owned by root and dropped boot time by 12 seconds..by fixing ownership issues on kextcache generation in the OS.\
but.... i truly dont know if it's "nforceata" or dsmos" or what causing my lil less than impressive start up time... its 1 minute compared to 20 seconds and it took alot longer than that to obsess over it and keep attempting to diagnose the cause...
if time is so important to me....than maybe " i should just accept it-and be productive with my computer- as a tool..rather than waste time and efort on
troubleshooting a minor irritation.perfectionist are not producers. feel me?

fixed all issues...boot time 14 spins. less than a minute.

add "nforceioatafamily to extra extensions . dropped boot time by 30 seconds.
run commands:

sudo chown root:admin /
sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
sudo kextcache -system-caches

dropped another 10 seconds..!@!@@!@@!!1 ... so good now.
some of my intel hacks boot in 7 spins. ... but for amd nforce 14-20 spins is good for me, = im satisfied.


use the "test" 1.0.3 medevil nforceatafamily kext .its the best one .

lets you use your sata dvd drive. its 32 bit. the 64 bit ones dont support sata dvd yet.

to boot the 64 bit kernel you have to use the 1.0.4 version patched for 64 bit. but the 64 bit kernal(arch=x84_64) is shitty and buggy anyways.

best to use a 64 bit userspace with a 32 bit kernelspace.

arch=i386 -force64 ..
supposedly it supports up to 32 gigs of ram this way anyway.
the 64 bit kernelspace is still in development. dont bother with it.
I got it to boot using pcefi 10.3 because its efi is 64 bit.

the bootloader i normally use is rc5 629 and it is only 32bit efi.
i can see this in the terminal. what i need is rc5 629 with a 64bit efi so i can
use my dual screens and injections of eulemer framebuffer ..which pcefi 10.3 doesny do..
so if i want 64 bitkernel space i drop all my 32 bit kexts and rebuild the caches in 64 mode. otherwise it wont load because of the 32 bit kexts.

if anyone has input on these topics id like to hear.
