-   -   What's your average boot up time? (http://infinitemac.com/showthread.php?t=927)

My system runs Mac OS X really well, however, I have one small niggling issue and that is my boot up times are somewhat long - around 2-3 minutes give or take. I suspect this could be due to the fact that NForce 5 boards don't always mix that well with OS X. Anyway, verbose boot (-v) tells me that AppleNForceATA is what's causing the delay in boot times as its constantly cycling looking for units (although it always finds 0), then eventually the system will get to the desktop. Does anyone else here experience similar issues or know of a solution? Also, let me know your average boot times from Darwin to the GUI.

Cheers,

@WinLinMac, that's incredibly fast - congratulations if it's true!

I take it none of you guys get any AppleNForceATA issues then?

Code:

32 0 0x34602000 0x7000 0x6000    com.nvidia.driver.AppleNForceATA (1.0.3) <31 17 12>
Thats the version I'm running.

Yes, it seems like the problem is related to your AppleNForceATA, the initialization of my disks take a second!
This is what I see when booting up:

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

1 minute :))

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!!
