yellowjacket Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hey guys, first post here. Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times already, I just want to make sure I don't install anything else that could possibly mess up my system. After reading http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=77165, I wasn't sure if I should download and install the listed shutdown/restart fixes since my issues have nothing to do with the computer going to sleep. Simply put, whenever I'm on the Mac, my computer will not fully shutdown or restart regardless if the computer goes to sleep or not (I never use sleep mode anyway). System specs: 10.5.5 Retail installed via Chameleon + generic.iso (running off a 500GB USB drive) Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R GeForce 8400 GS 256MB (EFIStudio) Intel Q6600 Other than the issue described above, everything else is working fine.

~J~ Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Try this iso Idenebv3 10.5.5 Worked for me . ps-Burn at lowest speed possible and set the "disk to load first" to be on the safe side.....

Look on forums for a file called openhaltrestart.kext and install it, if you can't find it pm me.

yellowjacket Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Got it working by adding openhaltrestart.kext to my Extras > Extensions folder. Ian was nice enough to send it to me but it's also acquirable at http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=114834 for the GA-EP45-DS3R. Thanks a bunch!
