Ned help: No Sleep in SL 10.6.2

[kiu777]

I try to make an Asus P5G31 Barebone with modern Celeron dual core 2,4 GHz an 2 GB RAM plus nVidia 7600GS graphics to work.

Nearly all is working with Chameleon 2RC3 (and RC4): Sound, Video, updates etc.

Just one thing: When I want to set the Hackintosh to sleep the screen goes black but the power LED doesn't blink and I can't wake up the machine.

 

The same phenomen happens to my older machine with an Asus P5K board (crossflashed to P5KR) which worked perfectly under 10.5.8 but misses sleep ability under Snow Leo.

 

Any idea what to try?

Does sleep work on other machines?

I'm having the same problem here.. Sleep is not working. Shutting down isn't working either. Restart works.

Could you keep me posted on your findings?? If I find a solution I'll post it here.

exactly ;-)

But no solution until now.

I think the problem lies in wrong values in a dsdt.aml file or some boot.plist an such secret stuff I don't understand :-(

well i have a both G31 chipset on my home [ECS G31T-M7] and office [asus P5KPL-CM], both runs SL. the home opc is now can deep sleep. The home pc has a deep disabler, yes it deep sleep, restart, and shutdown work. going try for the office pc

I don't use DSDT.aml since it works without it, but needed on Leopard.

What to do to have the deep sleep?

 

1. Make sure AppleLPC is running? The AppleLPC on system/Library/Extensions/AppleRTC.kext/Contents/Info.plist has to be edit. use the lspci / Evox86tool to know where is the address of LPC of ICH7.

2. Make Sure Bios is support S3/S4, ACPI on, Intel EIST on, Disable bit on, and MAXCPU is off to support dual core.

3. Check the motherboard has jumper to add more power to usb to turn on [+5VCC or something like it]

4. After you enable the LPC, will be there one option on Power in system Preferences is something like always turn on when the electricity off.

5. Install kexts : NullCPU, Psytar HaltREboot fix, and SleepEnabler 10.6.0

 

For 10.6.2 use Sleepenabler 10.6.0 with Chameleon 2 RC4. [my ecs g31t-m7 get sleep, my P5KPL-CM still under development of trials]

 

The problem now is the shutdown and the restart process quite take a long time, about one minute.

I finally got it working!

Steps I took:

• Resetting CMOS: solved my restart after shutdown problem
  
• Setting all usb-jumpers to +5vsb: wake with usb-keyboard
  
• Editing DSDT: Devices USBE and EUSB like following:
   
  

   Device (USBE)
             {
                 Name (_ADR, 0x001A0007)
                 Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized)
                 {
                     Return (GPRW (0x0D, 0x04))
                 }
  
                 Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                 {
                     Store (Package (0x04)
                         {
                             "AAPL,clock-id", 
                             Buffer (One)
                             {
                                 0x01
                             }, 
  
                             "device-type", 
                             Buffer (0x05)
                             {
                                 "EHCI"
                             }
                         }, Local0)
                     DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                     Return (Local0)
                 }
             }

  
  

 

 

 

 

Next on the list: getting p-states and c-states to work properly.
