what I found, is that using the AppleATIATA instead of AppleVIAATA did not actually solve the problem with the iokitwait. But deleting the AppleonboardPCATA.kext did! So even my primary install now boots in about 15-20 seconds. So if you have the iokitwait and have the AppleonboardPCATA.kext, delete it and use AppleATIATA. Now everything is perfect(SATA in AHCI). PATA drives also recognized and mounted.

Cheers.

not quite on topic but i posted this over at insanely in response to a question.

somethings i know that will effect the installation of this release and others. Alot of it comes down to your hardware. Slave and master drive configs can make a huge difference. If it wont boot (install or os) with dvd as slave then try master. Bios settings have a dramatic effect on everything. The best process if you have problems is disable everything you can in the bios eg firewire on board sound etc. Then just do an install with your chipset kext. Then once you have a booting system start to add all other kexts. I am shortly going to write a bit of a guide about everything i have found about problems with bios etc. 1 thing i have found is that depending on what your bios settings are will cause the create account loop. This goes for the majority of distros not just mine.

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! =)

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

like 20 seconds total, takes alot longer now due to the kexts for my graphics card

20 seconds here, but since i've tried the bootcamp possibility, leopard loads ntfs drivers at startup, in fact the time increased by 8 seconds

HI

I have ideneb 10.5.4 on my compaq nx5000 notebook. Bootup was taking 5 mins - hanging on:
time out waiting for iokit to quiesce

I removed iopccardfamily.kext (pcmcia driver I believe). Now my bootup is under 1 min

[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.
