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 :'( :)

5 minute bootup wait - time out waiting for iokit to quiesce
 

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

Complete boot-up with using 32-Bit Kernel & Extensions takes 32 seconds here - waking up from deep sleep just about 8 - so I am used to hibernate instead of shutdown. :D

45 seconds fully operational

Bare Install:
1 Minute 11.81 Seconds
24.59 Seconds Using modified IOATAFamily

After Applications:
31.45 Seconds Using modified IOATAFamily

I would swear that my boot time in 10.5 was 10-15 seconds. It was really unbelievably fast. now my boot time for 10.6 is about 25 seconds

I don't use voodoohda.kext, which usually takes most of my boot time

hey lanceomni, how do you modify IOATAFamily?
