slimandslam Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi All, I have a system with all SATA hard drives and SATA DVD drive (no IDE). P5Qc motherboard with 4gigs Quad Q8200 CPU Nvidia GeForce 9500GT Realtek 8169 PCI ethernet board I've attached a startup listing from my machine here: system.log.rtf I followed the directions in the P5Q motherboard thread -- installed IDENEB 1.4 and then I installed 10.5.4 retail and updated to 10.5.6 and then ran software update. Ethernet and ALC1200 audio work great. The Nvidia card works fine. All four processors are being used (though "about this mac" still says "3.8 ghz unknown"). The only problem left is with restart and shutdown. The problem is the same with IDENEB 1.4 as it is with the latest 10.5.6 retail (I have both partitions available). I tried installing the v1.03 openhaltrestart.kext but it didn't change anything on either IDENEB or retail version. It is still installed. Note that I am booting the system from a syslinux USB keychain from which I then select the MacOSX retail or IDENEB partition. SHUTDOWN: When I shutdown from MacOSX 10.5.6, the text (-v) shows it halts without errors but then the screen goes black and the system is still on. RESTART: When I select restart from MacOSX 10.5.6, if the USB keychain has been removed, the system appears to halt -- the text (-v) shows it halts without error -- but then it sits there, with the fans on and with a black screen. When I select restart from MacOSX 10.5.6, if the USB keychain has NOT been removed, the system appears to halt -- the text (-v) shows it halts without error -- and then it sits there for 1.5 minutes with a black screen and then restarts. It seems like a timeout of some sort has occurred (just a guess). SLEEP: Sleep works great except if there is a USB keychain drive in the system -- then it won't sleep. In the BIOS, I have the USB settings like this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&id=38471 Though I have also set the legacy USB to "auto" and it didn't change anything. Any ideas?

ZgSTar Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Gents, for the reboot/shutdown I used OpenHaltRestart x64 and it worked. Attaching here for anyone else that might need it. I am still working on the sleep issue. Cheers, ZetaGi OpenHaltRestart.kext_for_snow_64.tar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
