Ozai Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 OK briefly, I did a clean Snow Leopard install using their upgrade CD, then upgraded to 10.6.2 thru Apple website. Audio fixed with AppleHDA and HDAenabler kexts Internet fixed instantly DSDT patched to fix the annoying bug that resets CMOS to default settings. Smooth. PROBLEM: 1- Say I leave my desktop ON for 10 minutes to the kitchen to fix a cup of coffee, I return with display in sleep mode, and computer is running, again same problem, can't wake up with mouse or keyboard, or even with clicking Power button. 2- when you click on Sleep button, only the display blacks out but fans still run and LED is still on, Wake up is impossible past that stage, unless with Power Button, then I get a KP 3- sometimes when I click Shut Down, the computer instead restarts, sometimes it works. Inconsistency. Attempt to Solve: I've tried the new netkas 10.6.2 Sleepenabler, Evoreboot, and OSXrestart, repaired permissions and all, but to no avail. They all failed to solve Sleep problem. Help is much appreciated and rewarded. Thanks!

tdtran1025 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Ozai, Try the new Chameleon with new PVCEFI. Here's the link: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1404132 I think it will fix your problem. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnapalm Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 2 suggestions: 1. Make sure you need NullCPUPowerManagement.kext Use VoodooMonitor to check CPU frequency and temperature, then remove the kext, restart and check again. If you see lower values without the kext, you don't need it. If you need it you can use SleepEnabler.kext or fix DSDT so it's no longer necessary. Check this topic http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=181631 2. Check this topic, that patch solves sleep problem in some ICH9 mobos http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=168014 Attach your DSDT file if you need help.

Ozai Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Ozai, Try the new Chameleon with new PVCEFI. Here's the link: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1404132 I think it will fix your problem. Good luck Thanks for the suggestion, I did try it. No significant change, except that Leopard wouldn't boot now, SL was booting normally. So I had to revert to the older one, by installing Chameleon RC3 on top on the previous one, in both partitions. Other suggestions? Cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did what you told me, and I got a KP after deleting NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, the kind of Kernel Panic that grays out your screen with a warning message displayed in multiple languages.. so I had to restore it and fix permissions again. Please find below my dsdt.aml Thanks a lot! Cheers http://www.mediafire.com/file/ejmdxkomk3j/dsdt.aml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnapalm Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Are you using SleepEnabler? What SMproductname are you using? If you get a KP, please boot in verbose mode and post a picture of the screen. Test with this DSDT, do you see any difference? dsdt.aml.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozai Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Are you using SleepEnabler? What SMproductname are you using? If you get a KP, please boot in verbose mode and post a picture of the screen. Test with this DSDT, do you see any difference? dsdt.aml.zip Yes Napalm I'm using Sleepenabler.kext, the recent snow leopard version by Netkas I tested with your DSDT, I also installed Evoreboot together with Sleepenabler, they're both in Extra folder now, and I fixed permissions. 1- Amazingly the computer is now able to shut down (It used to restart instead) 2- The computer is waking up from screen saver mode. I couldn't get it to wake before. 3- the sleep button is working! the computer sleeps like a baby, all fans turn off. Previously only Screen would turn black whilst fans are running. The only problem now is waking the computer from Sleep, When I use keyboard or Power button, the fans turn on, but screen is still black! I think we're getting very close to fixing it. What do you say? Waiting for further instructions from you. here is a printscreen of my extra folder: http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/214/shotu.png Peace!

oldnapalm Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 About the test #1 on post #9, please remove NullCPUPowerManagement and SleepEnabler. If you get KP, post a picture of the screen in verbose mode. How are you enabling video drivers? Check in your BIOS if there's an option for suspend mode and set it to S3. Also look for an option to repost video on S3 resume, and enable it. Do you have the option "Restart after power failure" enabled in Preferences / Energy Saver? You can try this workaround http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=107030 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sld87 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Funnily enough I'm having this same problem 10.6.2. Motherboard: 965p-ds4 GFX: 8800GTS 320 DSDT for all fixes, EFI for GFX, kexts for sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try adding a notify to the video card PCI slot in _WAK method, something like Notify (\_SB.PCI0.PEX0, Zero) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnapalm Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi mate, how would i do that? Sorry, I thought you would know as you wrote "DSDT for all fixes". Search for "display" in IORegistryExplorer (or "ioreg" in terminal) and look under which device it is, then edit DSDT and add a notify to this device in method _WAK. I can do it if you attach your dsdt and ioreg dump, but I have no idea if it will work, it's a shot in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sld87 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Sorry, i had my DSDT fixed for me by a member (innerz) with the same mobo combo. Thanks very much for your help in this. I'll attach my DSDT and a IOREG dump when I get home. So i just open up terminal and type 'ioreg' ? Also, my GFX card is an 8800 GTS 320mb. If you could give me a hand patching it so I dont have to rely on EFI strings (If it's no too much extra work) that would be awesome. I'm also looking into how i'd go about enabling SPEEDSTEP through my DSDT file as well. Cheers for your help thus far, Stef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmcd Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Please list all your hardware (all of it). I have had situations where a particular hdd was added to my system in the past and it broke sleep. (1TB WDD Caviar black for example when added to 10.5.8 for me, made sleep stop working) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
