I've been trying for days and just came thru.
Two important BIOS option:
enable SLeep to RAM and enable Wakeup from PS2 keyboard.

That's it. Wow.

EDIT: I'll try different sleep method and report (first time I did use sleep from menu).
EDIT2: someone else confirm please.
EDIT3: recovered from automatic sleep.

What did you use as an install method, and what do you have your keyboard plugged into? Do your USB ports work again when you unplug and re-plug them in?

-Dan

10.4.4 Myzar
PS2 port

Yes, I have Wireless Lan USB dongle (Ralink GW122) and it recovers. I don't have to re-plug it in.
This may be because I'm running with "RT2500Replug fix". My USB dongle has to be re-plugged in every time I reboot unless this replug fix is running. I got this software way back when.

Hmm.. 10.4.4 isn't around anymore, I can't find it. Sounds like Sleep was broken in the "10.4.5" and above distributions that are out there. I think I'll live with what I have for now - I can at least wake up and use the 2 USB ports I need (Tablet & Keyboard). I'm sure it'll get fixed some day - with this, or another MB.

O.k. sounds reasonable. I may upgrade to 10.4.8 when it becomes available and we'll revisit this issue again.

i'll try this on a 10.4.7 system with an apple keyboard plugged on a usb port and will report it to you guys. just wait until this evening.

I should confirm, that Sleep mode perfectly worked on my PC, Asrock ConRoe945G.

My config:
Mac OS X 10.4.7 (JaS 10.4.6 + 10.4.7 Update)
Asrock ConRoe945G + Core 2 Duo (E6300)
GMA950 (DVI out)
2 Gb (512Mb x 4)
Mac Keyboard (USB)
Microsoft IntelliMouse (USB)

The OS Sleeps immediately, but the system takes nearly 5-7 seconds to sleep after this.
It wakes up by keyboard, mouse or pressing power button.

Geez! you got exactly the same system as me ! the only difference is that i have a logitech mouse! so it should work for me too, i'll try this later on.

Great!!!!
I'm so glad someone else confirmed. Group Hug
EDIT: most of the time it sleeps right away, but just once it took about 5-7 seconds to go into sleep.

Could you post all your BIOS settings? That'd be great!

-Dan

Once I find out how to capture all BIOS setting to a file. Fars or I can post them here.

Well doesnt work for me

two things :

- i have no "sleep to ram" mode but "suspend to ram" in ACPI settings
- i got bios 1.00

I have BIOS 1.1.
Here is picture (a little blurry) of my ACPI setting:

Hi all,

thanks TopazBar, I have EXACTLY the same config in my BIOS ( i am using 1.1 BIOS as well).
I did not post it here, as I am not at home yet...

For some reason, when you set ACPI HPET Table to Enabled, Sleep mode does not work... As far as I remember.
TopazBar, could you confirm this?

Your welcome Fars,
I will try HPET and get back to you.
BTW, we can now safely say we have working hackintosh that is 99.9999% compatible with real mac. Why that number? We don't have the Apple decals on our pc.

i have the same settings ... maybe i should upgrade to bios 1.1

What about audio in? Have you got that working too?

You must, PLEASE and then report back.
I want at least 3 confirmation.



Oh, I forgot about that (I have no need for that yet). Probably not, haven't tested...O.k., make that 98.999 % compatible. Nevertheless, I'm still very happy

Few things about sleep:
1. If you make display and system sleep at exactly same time, only display sleep takes effect.
2. If you are playing QT video for like 2 1/2 hours, sleep function is disabled during that time (nice feature).

Fars,
I just tried with HPET enabled, and sleep works fine. So, I will just leave it enabled.
BTW, I'm running 10.4.4 from 10.4.4/5 myzar.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. With HPET, sleep works from menu, but automatic sleep fails. So you are right in that with HPET sleep doesn't work properly. I disabled HPET.

Do anyone know what the ACPI HPET table actuallyt is and does it do anything good for us when being enabled? I know that HPET is some kind of new timer system, but does it bring any advantages for OSX86?

High Precision Event Timer http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec.htm
In regards to OSX, I remember Maxxuss saying that starting 10.4.5, Intel Mac kernel started to use it exclusively, and not many people had HPET in their system.
Hmmm...you know what I'm thinking? I should enable HPET and try to run one of newer kernel w/o any kernel patches and see how far it goes.

I have tried these settings and my USB survives a sleep now. Weird. Settings you would think would HELP, don't. Not sure which exactly makes it work, but it appears to work, so I'm not going to mess with it. :-). Thanks for the tips (& sharing!)

10.4.6 JaS, updated to JaS 10.4.7, DVI using GMA 950, 10/100 NIC, 4 GB memory.

-Dan

Your welcome plympton,
It is good to have your confirmation

EDIT: btw, if you do large file transfer (i.e., Torrent using Transmission) that takes long time, OSX won't sleep until that transfer is paused or finished. I haven't rebooted for 2 days now.

I upgraded my BIOS to 1.2 and sleep still works (bonus: improved my xbench a little).

i'm a bit late, but i had no choice, really...

Well i tried with bios 1.20 and all the settings like yours but it doesnt work... i have an apple usb keyboard.

i'm using Jas 10.4.7 and my system is overclocked to 320mhz fsb.

One last thing, there is a jumper setting that allow for USB devices to wake the system up. You have to set that right. I will check my manual. Be right back.

uh? i didnt know that, please tell me which one

Turn off your system with PSU switch.
Here is a small diagram of your mobo. Refer to 1 (PS2_USB_PWR1 Jumper]. As the name implies, it enables PS2 and USB devices to wake up the mobo. Short pin 2 and 3 (See page 16 of your mobo manual for further details). Pin 1 is closest to the cornor of the mobo.

Well, it was already on 2-3 i tried back but still doesn't work

Or thats not completely true :

- When it just turn off display but continue to run, if i move the mouse or hit any key of the usb keyboard, it turns on normally.

I noticed also that when i tried to make it sleep, it doesent really sleep : fans continue to run, HDD too, it just turn off display but there, i cant awake it.

i'm also thinking about making a topic for the few little things that makes our hackintosh system based on a conroe945G-DVI "unperfect" :

- Wake / Sleep statement
- Sound in
- Usb & Firewire 100% Compatible cards

What d'you think about it?

We have 3 people who got it working properly. So I know you can get it work properly. Just matter of time. I have had sleep/wake working with 10.4.4, 4.6, and now with 4.8.

Yes, go ahead.

i'm running 10.4.8 too... i think a good step is to know first, why my machine doesen't sleep completely (fans and Hdd still running) and then we can go further.

My machine was sleeping correctly under bios 1.00 and this problem appears for me by going thru the 1.20 update.

sleep works well on my config but...when i want to restart after wake-it's shutingdown the system.

Yes, I agree.

I think mine started to work correctly with 1.1 (I have 1.2). I don't think it worked under 1.0 (too far back to remember).



Great, 4th confirmation

Yes. It happens on mine, too. I wasn't sure what to make of it (i.e., sleep and waking up puts processor in funky mode or sleeping puts OSX into a mode that does shutdown instead of restart). Lets narrow it down. What processor do you have?
Mine is Pentium D 805.

What´s the problem with Usb & Firewire 100% Compatible cards and this mobo?

HPET does not load on my Hackintoh (JAS 10.4.6 and 10.4.7). I get an error (yellow message with -v switch) stating that can not load HPET class. Any idea?

I am having ACER laptop with Centrino duo T2300 @ 1.66.
Please help, if you know something about it, since I do not find anything about it.

greetings

hm, i'll make some changes to bios settings.
i have P4 630 CPU

my pci card was recognised but usb ports didnt function... but it's ok now with 10.4.8, surely a driver problem.

Sleep works but when it wakes up no video.

You were trying an USB+Firewire combo card?

yes with via chipset, but i put it in another PC and just installed a usb 5 ports card with NEC chipset, no need for firewire to me.

the point is that this card with NEC chipset was working out of the box on a powermac G4, but in the hackintosh it wasn't recognised, both were running 10.4.7...

Now with 10.4.8 update from JaS, it works well, and thats great!

I revisited HPET issue with Kiko RC1 10.4.8. This version allows automatic/manual sleep and wake to works with HPET.

Hmmm...I not sure which framework is responsible for making this to work.

Hi I have a Conroe 1333 and sleep mode doesn't work for me I have 1.3 Bios and setting bios like described here but The display doesn't resume from sleep mode.
What's wrong? (I use integreted graphic card)

I have an ASRock 775Dual-VSTA and your bios settings worked for me in Leopard 10.5.1! I can sleep and wake up now
