Ah I had it working and then I broke it!!
Sleep worked just fine on my 10.5.4 install (Boot-132 DFE/Chameleon Retail upgraded from 10.5.1). (System config below)
Somewhere between there and a 10.5.5 update plus installation of VMWare Fusion (and it's MacFues), trying bluetooth & iSync and CS3, sleep no longer works.
Main symptom: When I go to sleep, CRT & disks shut down promptly. DVD drive access LED flashes for a while (no DVD there) then goes dark. Every 10 secs or so, the LED flashes again once or twice. After two minutes or so, the machine powers off.
When it was working, I don't remember the DVD LED blinking periodically before powering off. Power-off occurred much sooner than it does now.
Upon restart, I have video, mouse and can manipulate windows. If I try anything that accesses the hard drive, that window locks up with a beachball. Clicking on dock programs freeze the dock.
The HD LED on my box then flashes very briefly every 2 secs or so. The box never recovers.
This sounds potentially related to how drives are managed during transition to/from sleep.
Avenues I've tried:
- Uninstall MacFuse, Fusion & CS3. No help.
- Bluetooth dongle removed, no help.
- iSync not showing on menu.
PLEASE... any help would be appreciated & followed up with. Alternative is to rebuild this thing again... and I've got so much done now.
