I have serious issues with boot up in Leopard. It sometimes takes upwards of ten minutes for the MacBook to reboot. I know this is not a MacBook issues, as this is my second one from our local Apple store. They replaced my first one about four months ago, and this is the upgraded MacBook. Same problem. Sometimes, it boots up just fine, and other times, it takes quite a while. This is quite annoying, and something really should be done about it.
