spidey123 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi guys. Well after a long while I decided to pull out my Dell Inspiron 3542 that I have barely used since I switched to Sierra, mostly because the system would constantly hang and crash on some sites and when the Video ads came on, even with the Lilu.kext, GraphicsFixUp and Shiki. So I decided to take the plunge to Mojave to see if it would work better. To my surprise it does. It works much better. I'm up and running. The only issue I have left to solve is my boot up that seems to take 40 seconds using SSD. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Administrators Hervé Posted October 10, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2018 Boot in verbose mode to see when the delay is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidey123 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Ok, will try that tonight when I get home from work. Thanks Herve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidey123 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 So it gets to this point then it starts to boot but it shows a blank screen for about 10 seconds then continues to boot. The last lines I see before it switches over are the NFTS lines as shown in the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 10, 2018 Post your Clover folder and what version of Clover are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidey123 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Ok, no problem. Here it is Jake Lo. I've only removed my serial info from the config file. If you can be of assistance that would be great. Clover Version 4674 Thanks as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 11, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 11, 2018 Try updating your SMBIOS with later date, but you could keep your serial #. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidey123 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 OK will give that a shot. Thanks Jake Lo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidey123 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Unfortunately I got the same result. But that's ok. Once it boots up its pretty quick. Maybe my config.plist needs updating? Thanks Jake Lo. P.s. Updated to Rehabman's newest config and still got the same result. Going to experiment with DDST and SSDT files this weekend and report my results at some point next week.

spidey123 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 So I was unable to get the machine to boot up faster than this. Apparently I've read on other forums, that it is quite common. The extra 10-15 seconds is actually not so bad compared to others who are booting up in minutes rather than seconds. Overall though I've very happy with MojaveOS. It's brought my Inspiron 3542 back from the dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
