Ok, after 1 day my situation is this:

 

- When i power on my laptop unconnected to the electricity (sorry for my english...), it was frozened on the grey apple screen. If i connect it i have no problem.

 

- The temperature of the CPU is so hot, 75 degrees. Fan is not at 100%... (I removed the AppleACPIThermal.kext...)

 

 

I installed Jas 10.4.8 and update to 10.4.10.

 

 

Please help me. Thanks.

Ok i think i solved the problem with fans.

 

I installed SpeedIt.kext and now temperature down 10 degrees. I think before the temperature it's not ok...

 

 

Now i need to solve the problem with the battery... i don't find why if i don't boot with the a/c adapter the system froze at the grey apple.

Hi there,

 

I seem to have the same problem, and decided to try the AMD kernel (SSE3) on my VAIO VGN-N11M which reported the same stuff (hangs at ACPI: System State [s0 S3 S4 S5] (S3) but to no success..

Any other suggestions please? (10.4.8)

 

Thanks in advance

I have the same problem where it won't boot without the AC plugged in.

 

I just installed XxX 10.4.11. Booting worked fine after install.

 

But... once I installed a different IOPCIFamily.kext (not sure where its from, but I use it because it works) to get my PCMCIA slots working, the problem starts. When I switch back to the orignal install kext, I can boot without AC.

 

I guess I need to find where I got the updated kext and find a newer replacement - as I've been using it since 10.4.8.

 

BTW, you should boot in verbose mode, would give you a bit more insight to where the problem happens - grey boot screen doesn't tell you much.

On my notebook (Pentium M Dothan, I915PM) the battery duration is minimal (about 30 mins), I think there's something wrong with the kernel I use (the SSE2/AMD one for Leopard), plus when I shut down, the laptop remains on and I have to shut down manually.

 

Any solution?

 

Thanks
