Slow boot time after Snow Leopard (Waiting for DSMOS...)
After installing Snow Leopard my boot time increased from 30-35 seconds to 45-50 seconds. I booted up in verbose mode and it hangs on "Waiting for DSMOS..." for about 10 seconds every boot.
I did a bit of research and here's what I've done so far to try and fix it:
1) Rebulid disk permissions
2) Send /Library/Caches to the trash, reboot, empty trash, reboot and reset PRAM (tried this by both methods: cmd alt+pr boot and removing the power and battery and holding down the power button for 5 seconds)
3) Flushed the kext cache via "sudo kextcache -v 1 -t -l -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions"
So what should I try next? There's got to be a way to fix this. I think number 3) is on the right track, but I'm not sure where to go with there. I'm a beginner with UNIX, but willing to learn.
