Redalert Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi I have a peculiar problem in leopard 1. The system does not always shutdown in kalyway leopard (say only 4 out of 10 times the pc successfully shutdown), the harddrive's & lights switch off but the fan & processor is still active. In the event the system is not properly shutdown the bios sometimes stops to warn frequency overclock error during boot. I have not oveclocked my system & using it with default settings. While it often shuts down without a hitch what could possibly go wrong in another attempt? 2. everytime I shutdown the pc in leopard the time is reset (yes I have selected correct timezone & turned off daylight savings as my location does not require daylight savings). Its so annoying that I require to reset the time everytime I boot into vista or leopard as a result my files/activities & the event manager would have recorded incorrect time & so cant keep track of the events. Have tried them on vanilla kernel also & even with 10.5.2 update through apple downloads but this strange problem still exists. I wonder by not choosing sse2 during installation could have resulted in such strange behavior. I thought this would not be necessary as I have a core2 duo with sse3 instructions set. Please help! system config – CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 GHz MB: Asus P5KC P35 chipset w/ICH9 southbridge RAM: 2GB Transcend DDR2 800 MHz (1GB* 2) GPU: Nvidia 8600 GTS eVGA HDD1: 160 GB SATA 3Gbps Seagate ST3160215AS HDD2: 320 GB SATA 3Gbps Seagate ST3320620AS DVD: SATA SONY DVD RW AW-G170S LAN: Netgear GA311 PCI (onboard Attansic L1 Gigabit lan not working, no drivers) Sound: ALC883 Onboard HDA Keyboard: USB/PS2 Microsoft Elite (USB is Working) Mouse: Logitech USB UPS: APC Back-UPS-RS 800VA w/Data Cable My Bios configuration >SATA as IDE emulation as my mobo is ICH9 which does not support AHCI >1394 port enabled >ACPI version - 2.0 (enabled after installation, still no difference) >APIC enabled >Jmicron enabled (no devices are attached to this controller) >plug & play OS option disabled (have no effect even if enabled) Kalyway options >Vanilla >EFI >MBR Partition Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93070-only-4-out-of-10-times-the-pc-hackintosh-successfully-shutdown/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mekino Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hey, I think the problem is the motherboard, mine is P5K-E. this problem is not single of hackintosh, with Windows it happens the same. update the bios solves the problem partially, 9 out of 10 times the system shutdown.... approximately!

megavolkan Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 OK same problem here but i realized something very interesting (and odd of course) that works for me. My system: Kalyway 10.5.2 with everything updated (graphics update included), MSI P965 Mobo, D820 2.8GHz. A freshly installed system doesn't shut down. Doesn't sleep (in fact sleeps but never wakes, if sleeps need to manually reset the machine) but restarts. But this part is interesting: If i make it sleep and then restart it (manually as i said before) then shut down "fixes" itself and machine shuts down correctly. No need to repeat the sleep/restart/shutdown process every time, Once is enough. But then i realized smt. else: I have a Vista installation on another disk and if i switch to vista then switch to OS X again, shut down becomes broken and have to repeat the sleep/reset/shutdown process again, then it turns to normal. I think this is all about bios settings, and once a system is installed it makes its own settings into the bios, someway changes it. Anyway this is my solution and it work. Give it a try, then post your results. Good luck PS: I'll make a topic for that Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93070-only-4-out-of-10-times-the-pc-hackintosh-successfully-shutdown/#findComment-665123 Share on other sites More sharing options...

megavolkan Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 sure will giv it a try & keep u'll posted. sounds tricky though wonder hw u could figure it out & i hope ther's some permanent solution to this soon Installing 4 times in a row, sleepless until 5 in the morning, crashing, trying every silly solution hoping it will work fingers crossed at the end you're starting to figure out the weirdest Actually i realized it first time i tried to sleep the machine. It was shutting down good. Other times shut down was broken and this was the only thing left untried. Working like a charm Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93070-only-4-out-of-10-times-the-pc-hackintosh-successfully-shutdown/#findComment-665243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redalert Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 u r method did not work for me, but i installed new kernel update frm netkas which hopefully would have resolved this (i still havn't shutdown my sys yet only tried sleep) though sleep was working 100% for me until now but after the update system does not resume back from sleep. Edit: tried kalyway 10.5.2 & many kernels but the shutdown problem is still ther.
