Rob G Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Well Heres The First Problem, I have an XPS 410 and some times when i go to shut down every thing powers down but the green Light Behind The Power Button is still on and if you push it nothing happens. I have no clue how to fix it or what can be causing it. It goes away on its own sometimes for awhile but it comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Have you tried the 9.2 ToH kernel released by netkas? When you press the power button to turn off, do you hold it for 4 seconds? Most BIOSes are set to not do anything with just a simple push of the power button, they have to be held for 4 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to help if you don't answer the questions we ask. Which kernel are you using? Have you tried netkas' 9.2 kernel that has the shutdown fix?

Rob G Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Headrush i forgot to answer a part of your post. no i havent Tried That Kernel I am using Vanilla Kernel With EFI8. I would Prefer To Have Vanilla Kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komeet Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The latest netkas kernel with shutdown fix doesn't work for either. Vanilla kernel shuts down perfect but comes with other problems (sound stuttering). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 My machine does COMPLETELY shutdown!! http://www.mediafire.com/?mvlwwyndwnd (video of it actually shutting down) WITH Vanilla kernel!! But as We don't have the same machines, maybe that's why yours doesn't! Maybe your according to your SIG, your'e lying, or your NIC is keeping it from shutting down!!

ka911 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 as you can see below I'm using Kernel 9.2.0, it was working for two days but after that I have to shutdown manually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 I just tried the kernel. Still A no go evert shuts down but the green power button light stays on. It shut down completely till i upgraded to 10.5.2 then this started happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.SubZero Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The only time I get the "can't completely shut down" problem is when I fool with Taruga's AppleHDA thing. On both of my laptops I have tried OS X on it's always shut down perfectly fine as long as I don't use that software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 ka911 do you ever get a kernel panic on shut down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ka911 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 ka911 do you ever get a kernel panic on shut down? No just black screen! but I did install Leopard again and now I can reboot and restart with out problem! thats mean there is something has been changed in mach_kernel when I did software update from Apple. I wish to know so I will stop it from installing in my Leo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabik123 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 i read somewhere that the taruga hda patcher can screw with shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ka911 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 i read somewhere that the taruga hda patcher can screw with shutdown. you mean internally? I mean the patch in the DVD or manually install? because I did not install any patch with this relapse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detosx Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Kalyway with EFI/MBR/Vanilla won't shutdown if you use the Taruga patch (which is to say in this case for the ALC628) and AppleHDA.kext and 10.5.2 update. However, iATKOS (EFI/MBR/Vanilla) will! It worked for me. Or did, up until the moment I installed the Leopard Graphics Update. I know the update is supposed to improve performance but, frankly, a laptop that shuts down properly and doesn't fry in your daypack because you didn't realize it hadn't fully shutdown... might be way, way, way more important.

Rob G Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 I am Using ToH and it worked fine till that 10.5.2 update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detosx Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I am Using ToH and it worked fine till that 10.5.2 updateI think I'm going to go back to iATKOS 10.5.1, at least in the meantime, and not update. I find that frustrating, though, because the 10.5.2 update and the Leopard Graphics update speed things up a lot. But is there a speedstep kernel of that age that will work and powermanagement?
