Elad Nava Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi community, I am not just some leecher that benefits from this projects and gives nothing back, Ive written a guide on how to get my computer model working with Mac OS X Leopard and hoping the community can help me with this silly thing. Just give me a minute if you have any idea what the problem is. The problem is that randomly when I shutdown the computer the computer does not shutdown. At a closer look in verbose mode it says something like: ... ... killall... cpu halted As far as I can tell all the verbose messages are fine except for the last one, CPU halted. Then it just sits there at the point where it should have already shut off and I have to press the button to shut it off manually... This is getting annoying after a month. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Here are my computer specs: Intel GMA 950 Vanilla kernel Ralink RT74 USB Wireless Adaptor PS/2 keyboard USB mouse Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7. 4 drives (2 sata 2 on 1 ide cable) (2 are DVD roms 1 on sata 1 on ide) (Hope you understood that. ) Thanks for any suggestion or help, will try anything that will not damage my system. Thanks! Appreciate it. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/174934-randomly-at-shutdown-the-cpu-halted/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
FacialTurd Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I have exactly the same issue. The problem is not what happens during shutdown, ("CPU Halted" Means the Operating System has shutdown properly) The reason you're seeing it is that the Computer should have powered off, as this issue is a problem with the ACPI driver.

Elad Nava Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ah, the ACPI driver... Thanks for that info, I will try to find a better driver... Maybe it will also fix my PS/2 keyboard sometimes at startup not responding/being recognized.
