ok... so what I REALLY meant was... for me with a M2N61 board and the MCP61 northbridge... it takes forever for the IOKit to work its magic.
BTW... I would love to see your boot-ups. Not because I don't believe the majority, but because then maybe I'll be able to convince my wife to let me buy a newer board  !   Last edited by nfoav8or; 10-11-2008 at 10:37 PM.

Well I finally managed to get my boot down from 2-3 minutes to 42 seconds! It was all to do with the IOKitWaitQuiet() timed out waiting to write kernel symbols error. After a little research into the error I went into my BIOS and turned off the PCI to IDE BusMaster and the On-chip IDE controller allowing only the SATA controller to remain in play. On rebooting I was astounded to see how fast my machine booted to the desktop. The only downside to this method is that I've now lost the ability to use my IDE DVD writer and SATA DVD writers don't seem to work well with the current nforceata driver.

45 seconds with prelinked kernel. Pentium M 1.73 Ghz, 5400 rpm SATA drive (no ahci) and 1.5GB RAM. That's not bad - it's faster than linux on this same machine which takes at least 75 sec or more from bootloader to hdd idle.

not with the computer you are doing it with if that is what you are asking. use a digital camera and try to upload it to youtube or another video sharing site.
if your boot time is under 20 seconds, I would love to see it. please put a sound bit in the background so we can all hear that you haven't sped things up. This isn't to prove to me you have a fast boot anymore... rather, to show off your system. have fun with it. Cheers.

Video of verbose boot (26-27s), usually a bit faster but never under 20s like others here.. And don't pay attention to the song in the background, just to prove that I didn't use any magic

@ PingunZ - Video doesn't want to load for me. The picture freezes at the boot prompt while the music continues on. Is this happening for anyone else?
P.S. nice music (I know you said to ignore... but I couldn't help it... Rock out! ambient techno style!)EDIT: oops... didn't have flip4mac installed on my macbook.... hmmm. still doesn't work.. Last edited by nfoav8or; 10-12-2008 at 08:02 PM. Reason: had to comment on the music. :)

mmm. yeah, I'm jealous. I've got to talk my wife into letting me buy another monitor and a new board...
Sweet dual-monitor setup... and the boot-up time is faster than my macbook! 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean. Free credits ($100) for InfMac readers.
