Mac boot took more than 25 minutes
Today I tried to merge my Boot Camp partition to the normal disk using Boot Camp. In the Boot Camp Assistant wizard, I selected an option to merge the Boot Camp partition to primary Mac HD, and it asked to reboot, so I did a reboot..
During the reboot, it didn’t boot back to OS even for 25 minutes and whole time it was just showing the white screen; which normally appears just before you get the ‘Apple Logo’…As there is no verbose info printed on to screen about what is happening nor it booted to OS, I almost decided to recycle the power…luckily I suddenly noticed the Apple Logo and it started booting to OS.
Its real annoy for me..Either Boot Camp should have instructed that during reboot it needs to merge the partition and will take time or it should have printed some verbose information on what is happening..as Windows normally prints any verbose input during the boot time, which makes it much easier for anybody to understand what is happening…you can’t ask end user to sit and watch blank white screen for 30 minutes for what so ever…

Did you customize the installation options ?
