Hoopster Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I've got my hackintosh working perfectly except shutdown and restart. So here is my problem whenever I shutdown or restart my hackintosh it shuts down fine except on the reboot it freezes at the apple logo with the spinning circle (not the beach ball) the circle just spins and spins and sometimes it will finally get to the desktop after like 2-3 minutes but if it does its just frozen. But if I use the power button on the computer to force shut it down everything works fine. My motherboard is a Gigabyte p55-usb3 if that helps and I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] supported and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] for the install so I have a vanilla kernel which I want to keep and I don't have a patched dsdt. Please help this is the last thing to make my hackintosh perfect.

cakeninja Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I Sometimes have this problem but it sometimes happens even if i try to turn on my laptop and the wheel never appears ...i have to turn on and off and on and off till one time the wheel appears. you can try the EVOSX86 Reboot and shutdown fix altho i have never tested it but its worth the try EVOSX86 Shutdown/Restart Fix Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/228642-shutdown-and-restart-not-working/#findComment-1531928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biso007 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have this problem only when I install the BCM5787 kext for the integrated Broadcom Ethernet card. So, maybe you have a problematic kext as well. Check the shutdown/reboot function just after fresh OSX setup and before installing any additional kexts.

Hoopster Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 So are you saying I should reinstall Snow Leopard? I Sometimes have this problem but it sometimes happens even if i try to turn on my laptop and the wheel never appears ...i have to turn on and off and on and off till one time the wheel appears. you can try the EVOSX86 Reboot and shutdown fix altho i have never tested it but its worth the try EVOSX86 Shutdown/Restart Fix That kext is already installed thanks anyway though.

cakeninja Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 So are you saying I should reinstall Snow Leopard? He saying you should reinstall snow leopard but you can chose to install to another partition just for testing and then remove / move to and start using the fresh one. Also, in this case it might not be a problematic kext cause on my laptop i've noticed that mac is only able to boot in a certain time ...for example if my BIOS takes longer for ACPI and hardware recognition ...mac will not boot. And most of the time,Verbose used to note something about USBs or just fakesmc freezes the system loads which fakesmc is needed for the wheel to start spinning. Edit : Also did you try to reboot and shutdown without the EVOSX86 kext ...it might be that the system does not need it and it might also be the cause.
