Boot process taking abnormally long on e5450

[kaem-e]

Hi i was trying the latest release efi but it would spend an abnormally long ammount of time stuck on the apple logo (trying this on a e5450 w integrated graphics (enabling / disabling voodoo & intel wifi and Bluetooth kexts didn't seem to change much))

Coincidentally the efi linked Here seems to have fixed this (obviously no wifi or Bluetooth or touchscreen support (im using intel wifi) but it did boot into Monterrey recovery)

[Edit] i should also mention all bios settings are the same as mentioned in the readme

I pushed the change to master. Can you try it?

Also for debugging, add verbose mode to the boot-args, so it's easier to know what the issue is

Ill try it rn one minute

That seems to have worked, it did still take a bit to boot (roughly 5 minutes or so) but im guessing that's because its booting into recovery,

Ill try it with the voodooi2c and intel wifi & Bluetooth kexts enabled, tysm

Seems to be stuck after enabling those three, any ideas what may be causing this ? (Its been stuck here for the past 25 ish minutes ?)

Seems to just be stuck at this stage w verbose output enabled

Okay seems like the voodooi2c drivers were what was causing the trouble above, might be worth checking those out. It boots up fine after disabling those

refusing new kext me.kisghorprins.VoodooInput, v1.1.1: already have prelinked v1.1.3 means VoodooInput is already loaded. This is VoodooInput from the new VoodooPS2 kext. Disable VoodooPS2 VoodooInput and enable VoodooI2C VoodooInput.
