Most Hackintoshes don't sleep very well. I would advise not sleeping your computer. You probably can sleep your monitor and your hard drives, but not the computer. Go to Energy Saver in System Preferences and set that up.

 

If you are unable to boot at all after sleep, try pulling the power plug and let the computer sit for 10 minutes. Then try to boot. If that doesn't work, pull the plug and open the computer. Remove the battery on the motherboard. Use the jumper on the motherboard to clear the CMOS. Somewhere near the battery are 3 wires with a jumper on wires 1 and 2. Move the jumper to wires 2 and 3 and wait 30 seconds. Then move the jumper back. Put the battery back. Close the case. Plug in the computer and boot.

PS. What does "-f" key mean?

To speed booting, OSX scans all kexts and puts the info into a database (Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache). Any time you mess with kexts, you need to rebuild that database. If you delete those two files prior to booting, they will be rebuilt when you boot.

 

If you forget to delete the two files or if the database becomes corrupt, you can bypass using the database by using the -f flag at boot. In that case, OSX just reads the kexts directly. Takes a little longer, but solves problems. After booting with -f, it is best to fix the database (delete the files). If it seems you need to do this everytime you boot, then just add -f to the boot.plist and accept a little more time booting.

...

boot.plist = /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>

How must I modify it with "-v -f" keys?

Thanks.

Don't have Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache files in /System/Library/Extensions/

May be files may be in any other folder? Somebody with 10.4.8 SSE3 intel only OSX please check in your system.

PS May be files are hidden?

May I delete them from terminal? How?

Under JaS 10.4.6 suspend works great on acer laptop(945 chipset). If i press fn+f4 my laptop sleeps (like in linux echo mem > /sys/power/state). Also when i updated my system with egwans updater with daemones kernel it worked few times. But with new JaS with ppf patch it doesnt work. My system turns monitor off, then waits few sesonds and reboots.

 

My computer is fully acpi complitant. It works under linux, without any patches and all kernel modules for my hardware.

 

Is there any way to troubleshoot this? Could i downgrade my kernel to one from jas 10.4.6?

... with new JaS with ppf patch it doesnt work.

 

Happens to me as well.. From what I have read in the forums the sleep/restore functions are not finished in this kernel ( 8.8.1 ) which gets installed with the latest JaS/PPF1 install.

 

Abysmal
