So, the last time I used my Macbook a day or so ago. Didn't do anything except browse the internet. Today I turn it on, and I noticed it was taking forever to boot. It usually takes about 15 to 20 seconds. At the black apple. It sat there for 5 minutes before I hard shut it down. I turned it back on and tried a safe mode boot, it literally just turns off after about 5 seconds while the safeboot parameter is set. tried that about 3 times. A verbose boot hung at "HID: Legacy shim 2". No idea what that is.
I plugged it into my mac pro with target disk mode and did a disk repair, it didn't find any problems.
its a MacBook 5,2 mid 2009, installed with dosdudes HS patcher. I've had this macbook for almost a year and its never done anything like this (Actually no mac Ive ever owned has...Very windows like problem if you ask me...) It was updated to 10.13.3, but that was weeks before this happened.
If I have to I will reinstall the OS. I'm currently backing up the 160gb homefolder as I type this incase I do have to reinstall, when thats done I'll be booting the recovery flash drive.
I basically am posting here to find out if anyone else has had this problem, or knows what the actual eff would cause this? I googled around and I've seen a lot hackintosh people with something similar happen but it was always related their hardware. Then theres this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8137943
My verbose didn't have any of those errors. But I guess my problem is similar.
