Hi, I have successfully (finally) installed iDeneb 1.6 on my PC. I had troubles with networking, dmg-files etc. I have already solved those but one big issue still remains: sleep. It doesn't work at all. If I try to use manual sleep (from Mac menu), display turns off, all fans blow like hell and nothing else happens. I think it's trying to sleep 'cause that is what happens before sleep in Windows (fan blowing etc.). After that, the whole computer is really frozen. Nothing helps, except cutting the power off. Display sleep does work, so does restart and shutdown. Scheduled sleep doesn't work either, however it turns hard disks off and something else (computer is quite quiet) but still it won't go to sleep. It can be wakened here my moving mouse or pressing keys.

 

My PC specs:

Asus M2N-E Nforce 570 Ultra MCP

AMD Athlon X2 3800+

6 GB RAM (I need to use bootflag 'maxmem=3072' or OS X freezes before desktop)

Nvidia 9600GT 512 MB (using Nvkush)

Onboard Nforce LAN (working with nforcedeth)

Onboard Audio, some ADI chip (working with VoodooHDA)

Samsung 1TB SATA hard disk, primary (this is very Win 7 is installed)

Seagate 500 GB SATA hard disk, secondary (this is where OS X is)

USB keyboard and mouse

 

I have searched the whole internet through and tried following solutions:

- Currently I'm running with Qoops 9.8.0 kernel. I tried also Anv 9.7.0 kernel. No luck + cpus=1 problem.

- Removing disabler.kext, after that I tried Removing AppleIntelCPUManagement.kext and AppleCPUThermo.kext. No luck.

- Using custom DSDT (with DSDT Patcher GUI). No luck.

- Different BIOS parameters in Power section, didn't help.

- using the terminal command "sudo pmset autorestart 1" (I don't have that option in Energy saver panel). No effect.

- Tried to use VoodooPower.kext, that just crashed my PC and it won't even boot when that kext is loaded.

- Installed ACPI fix, disabler, VoodooUSBEHCI, OpenHaltRestart from install disk. No help for sleep issue. Tried also without those.

 

During the boot (with -v bootflag) I don't see any fatal errors. Though AppleIntelCPUManagement says something about "timed out" and when I check the loaded kexts with 'kextstat' command, AppleIntelCPUManagement is not loaded. I read from somewhere that this kext is not even supposed to work with AMD processors. Who knows.

 

I'm really frustrated with this problem and I really could use some help to solve this issue. If I could get sleep working, my OS X would be perfect :)

 

Yours, Pete

 

Edit. Oh and I also tried the SleepEnabler but no good either. However I'm not seeing this kext loaded (kextstat command) should it be? If yes, what could prevent from loading it?

 

Edit2. Now sleepenabler.kext is loaded (fixed permissions) but it does absolutely nothing. Great.
