Solution to the IOKitWaitQuiet problem!

[Ztardust]

Hey!

I´ve been having a problem with long boot time on my machine.
Finally I found out that the problem was caused by the IOATAFamily.kext

I started a thread about this on insanelymac, and thanks to two guys there, coolyou and ar4er, this problem is a thing of the past.

Here is the thread:

Well this sweet action dropped my boot time to 28.6 Seconds from Post to Desktop but now when I shut down I get this error:

Break on __THE_PROCESS_HASFORKED_AND_YOCANNOT_USE_THIS_CORE FOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY__YOU_MUST_EXEC__() to debug.
The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation functionality safely. You Must exec().

This is a great work... my boot time is half time than before...
It really works.
Thanks

p.s. now i'll try the shutdown

edit: shutdown was without errors.

I posted a new thread and I forgot all about this one. Here is a new IOATAFamily.kext version 2.0.1 from 10.5.8 with the timing changed and recompiled. Boot time 24 seconds with and 72 seconds without.
