Osx boots on my computer in 1min and 30secs because of "IOKitWaitQuiet() timed out waiting to write kernel symbols" I havent found a fix for it yet either..

We could start a wiki page for this, but we'll need some more people for this, who volunteers?

My boot times are terrible probably close to 3 minutes or so mainly because of the IOKit delay as well.

I agree. The size of the Extensions folder seems way bigger than it needs to be. Don't know much about what devices need what but I'd like to help in anyway possible.

I agree with Lawless... YouTube your boot up times if able. It may be that boards that don't need the NForce kernel extension boot that fast, but I'm very doubtful.


EDIT: As far as the wiki page goes, I'm doing research on the kernel extensions but so far it is a slow process. I've been utilizing the AppleDev website to learn more. I think the page should be accessible via this forum... maybe via an editable thread where users can write in their comments but the first main post will just be edited to make everything a little cleaner. I don't think any ONE peson should take credit for this kind of thread as then it would be a community effort.

follow-on ideas?

I've just timed mine with a stopwatch

From the time the darwin boot prompt reaches zero, it takes 26secs to reach my desktop. I don't receive any iokitwait messages whatsoever.

@Voyn1x - see, now that I believe . You've got a Gygabyte board and I've seen those work that fast with my own eyes. Congrats on a great system.

Its the other boot times that hover around 15 seconds. Or those with an NForce chipset that use the kernel extension. Sometimes it just doesn't seem real enough.
