wirelessguy Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I have just installed 10.4.1 on my machine. I have also ran the 10.4.3 updater. My machine will shutdown but not restart. It just sits there with the round spinning thingy (same one you get when 1st booting up). Has anyone had this problem? I also downloaded the 10.4.3 Wesler DVD and when i installed, it got about 1/2 way thru and gave a message about an error and that i would have to restart. Any help with that problem? thanks, wireless guy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7414-machine-will-not-restart/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_dingman Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 As far as I have seen, this is a known, and un-fixable issue. Everyone with OSX86 has this problem, and no one can do anything about it. Just get used to shutting down, then powering up again.

jbjonas Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I have not experienced this with my intel chip, but I did get the same problem when installing 10.4.3 8F1111A on my friends AMD system. No fix other than actual shutdown though. I believe that this is another symptom of the fact that OSx86 has minimal support for ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Apparently it supports reboot on some hardware configs and not others. Not surprisingly AMD is in the latter category, since Apple is working with intel chips... My intel machine for example can't seem to send a proper ACPI signal to put my monitor to sleep and will instead hang with a frozen screensaver after the timeout set for monitor sleep. I think just another symptom of the same problem. We just have to deal for now, it could be worse though, just having to shutdown and hit the power key instead of restart, right?

maq Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Strange.. I had the reverse problem when I could only boot in VMWare - I could restart but not shutdown. Now that the ATI IDE controller works, I can do both without any trouble.
