So you can test with VirtualSMC+Lilu only. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I tried booting to recovery and it was very fast. also the part it mostly gets slow is this one: It seems like Monterey does some sort of disk checking and depending on whether you have errors in your file system, it can go more or less quickly. At least, that's been my observation. Try booting to either an installation USB or Recovery USB and run first-aid in disk utility. Then try booting normally and see if you still have the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizeMan Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Re-installation from recovery (on top of current installation) did not work either. This is getting frustrating 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting frustrating Hi Bro since you've near enough exhausted most if not all obvious software cause, maybe it could be a hardware problem i.e the installation disk (have you another disk on hand to test?), the wifi/b-tooth card, the cooler usb connection (if one is fitted) try with just the most essential attached to boot up and get to the desktop to see if a component is the cause of the slow boot. From start to desktop mine takes 15 - 20 seconds max. Good luck. Edited July 22, 2021 by eSaF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, once booted, everything in Monterey seems to be working fine. I am downloading the installer package now, will set up a usb stick an install from scratch within the weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also try with the bare minimum attached to your pc. Eg just keyboard, mouse and monitor and install USB. You said you mapped your USB ports? Have you tried without your USB map? Also check your using an appropriate smbios. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my USB ports mapped properly and USB behaves as good as it did when I was on Big Sur. My SMBIOS is perfect match for the specs, iMac19,1. Also Wifi / BT Works as expected once booted (I have swapped the motherboard's intel card with an adapter + apple native card. I will try to get a second drive to test.

WizeMan Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) @mnfesq @SavageAUS @eSaF @Matgen84 @ellaosx @MorenoAv Thank you all so much for your effort to help me. It seems like the partition map or the file system was borked during Monterey upgrade from Big Sur. Even from the Monterey USB Installer I couldn’t erase the drive, I had to boot into windows and remove all partitions with diskpart. Then did a fresh install of Monterey and boot time is really short now. Edited July 22, 2021 by WizeMan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefanalmare Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Monterey see network drive as internal. It is a beta issue (no specific icon yet), or it is just me? It happen in 5 hacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greythorne Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Ok this is strange. My EFI partition still has about 100++ mb of drive space available. In it I have windows/OC boot folder which in total is about 50 or so mb. Now I updated the kext and got a prompt that says insufficient drive space. Any idea why? I am on Monterey Beta 3 & Win 11.

Hmmm. I turned on the hidden files and folder. The Trash folder in EFI partition was hidden. There was no files in it, the folder was empty.
