EFI/RTC issues ? - cannot hibernate / upgrade

[msingh]

Regardless of whether I set hibernatemode (pmset, etc.) to 3 or 5, I cannot hibernate. I get a gray screen where the mouse pointer is visible, but unresponsive (as is the keyboard).

 

Possibly related - I tried to do an upgrade to 10.5.6 and my kernel (9.4.0 - StageXNU) panicked upon reboot. Had to redo the install.

 

I have read that there is some EFI/RTC related issue that might affect both - any ideas ?

Some "progress" here :

 

I updated my video driver kext's. Much better display (occassional artifacts, but I can live with those) :

Upon attempting to hibernate, I do get the system to power off. However, cannot resume, and more interestingly, the modification time on /var/vm/sleepimage is an older time unrelated to the attempt to hibernate.
