OSXRestart.kext

[Master Chief]

and if you dare to handle IOService::message.... in your class you may give "sh**t" if dsdt broken or sbus, cbus ..xbus ??

Right. Let me check that. Thanks.

 

Edit: I take it that you want me to add this:

IOReturn OSX_Restart_Handler::message(UInt32 type, IOService * provider, void * argument)
{
return super::message(type, provider, argument);

}

Right?

 

Never mind got it. Did a couple of reboots with the old code. It's fine now. OSXRestart.kext version 1.5 will be released shortly. Thanks again!

 

OSXRestart Version 1.5 is now available!!! – see attachments in post #1

[np_]

Right. Let me check that. Thanks.

 

Edit: I take it that you want me to add this:

IOReturn OSX_Restart_Handler::message(UInt32 type, IOService * provider, void * argument)
{
return kIOReturnSuccess;

}

Right?

 

 

just return success not enough ,

 

1: attach your class to correct provider

2: handle messages / sub messages start's with kIOMes.... and sub comes from argument ( cast it to int )

 

i give you all possible hints

wish to give entire function(s) but you all know where will finish so no more favors to psysf**k and "co"

just read darn iokit doc's - all you need is there

 

have a fun

Master Chief,

The Finder says that v1.5 is v1.4. Did the Info.plist not get updated or did the wrong kext get zipped?

Master Chief,

I've downloaded the attachment from post #1 and checked the version info – both strings are set to 1.5 but "Bundle versions string, short" is still 1.4 Let me fix this for the next update. Thanks.

MasterChief and other ppl:

 

The restart works great and thanks for the update. One issue that I noticed is that I cannot restart after waking the computer from sleep. So that there isn't any confusion in what I'm saying:

 

1) Put computer to sleep

2) Wake computer from sleep

3) Attempt to restart computer

= Computer won't restart.

 

I've tested this about 6 times after putting the computer to sleep and it doesn't work. All other times it(OsxRestart) works....

Restart works fine with OSXRestart v1.5 after wake from sleep on my system.

[Master Chief]

well mine can reboot after sleep BUT if i do that the "long boot" reappear after the reboot.

Try the attached test version of OSXRestart.kext (v1.5b) and let me know if this one works for you. Thanks.

 

Edit: The attached test version has been replaced with a new one in post #118

Try the attached test version of OSXRestart.kext (v1.5b) and let me know if this one works for you. Thanks.

 

Thanks for the update!! I'll test it out asap.

 

Thanks!

[wayover]

but you probably know how to make your computer restarts without any additional extensions of the kernel?

[donkey]

Thanks for the update!! I'll test it out asap.

 

Thanks!

 

MasterChief,

 

Checked out 1.5b and no restarts on this laptop. 1.3 and 1.5 work as long as the computer hasn't been put to sleep at some point...

 

Thanks for checkin out the issue!

[Master Chief]

from dmesg the extension is loaded

OSXRestart Version 1.5b \M-B\M-) Master Chief 2009

 

but now the reboot doesn't work at all

Oops. Thanks for testing. Will look at it later today (just woke up early).

Seems like the tips I got from np_ in post #100 aren't working. For now; Keep using OSXRestart v1.5 while I figure out another solution. Might take a while because I also have to finish other work.

 

p.s. I did add a short info string (see kernel.log) simply because without this, I wouldn't know what people are using. And this will be especially useful for the upcoming releases... which will include new features.

 

Edit: Attached is a soup (test version only) of my work and that of np_ Let's see what this brings.

1.5c loaded reboot working but i still got the "long boot" if i reboot after sleep

Do you see a line with Device (SBUS) in your DSDT? Or just attach your DSDT so that I can look at it. Thanks.

[Terenc3]

i have no problems with restarting and shutting down. just that they might take 45s to finish. may i know if this kext will help me hasten the reboot?

[Master Chief]

yep i got it, also i see it in IoRegistryExplorer

Right. I take it that you also have _PS0 under PCIB if yes comment it out (see also post #99).

[Master Chief]

well here i have an problem as i cant find _PS0 anyware o.O

If you want my help then attach your DSDT.

 

And just to be sure; You don't have this (long) reboot issue when you use OpenHaltRestart or EvoReboot?

[Terenc3]

i removed openhaltrestart and install this osxrestart. reboot time still the same. =X haha..

[michael_sp]

Masterchief thank you !

 

Iam able to shutdown and reboot p5q finally. I have tried all the other solutions and none of them worked.

I can confirm that OSXrestart v5 works for p5q with no dsdt.

 

Thanks again !

[Master Chief]

i dont use OpenHaltRestart or EvoReboot

 

here it is dsdt it is not hpet patched

Thanks. But I have never ever seen anything like your DSDT. Man what a mess. I'll have to pass. Sorry.

[Terenc3]

Master Chief! Do you happen to have any idea on what is casuing slow shut downs and restart? Mine mainly takes 46s to shut down and restart. But once in a blue moon it takes less than 5s to do so!.. =)

OT talk: Well. Looking at the Apple forums; It can be anything. Checking log files and booting with -v (verbose) would be the first things to do. The next thing would be disabling hardware in the BIOS and removing kexts. But let's start by adding a signature first, because I don't even have a clue as to what hardware you are using. There might be some network adapter involved, but that is just another guess...

[Terenc3]

OT Talk: Roger That. Talking about removing kexts, i thought of that too. I suppose its okay for me to just delete all unused kexts like ATi/Intel/nVidia video kexts other than my 9600M GT injector?

[MikeyMike01]

M1530, Nvidia 8600M GT, Vanilla Install

 

Sleep, Restart, Shutdown did not work.

 

Restart now works.

 

Thanks!

For the first time in Apple Intel history I see such {censored} DSDT: iMac11_1_DSDT

Shame on you Apple! I never expected such mess from you...
