relay Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Since the hibernate feature is broken for us hackintoshes, why not just eliminate it completely? If you look under /var/vm, you will find a file called "sleepimage" which if you look at the file size is quite large, about 1.25 times the size of your total physical memory. Ok so lets do a "sudo rm" on the file. Cool, I got some gigabytes back. But after rebooting, WTF? It's back!? Well apparently by default, OSX hibernation mode is set to 3. We need it to be on 0 and here are the commands to make it so: To check the mode you're on. Open up terminal and do the following: pmset -g | grep hibernatemode To set the mode to 0, in the same terminal, do the following: sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0 Then the sleepimage file will not return and your hibernate or sleep error message will not appear during boot up.
