riff-raff Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hello All, I am running a fully working 10.5.2 Kalyway install on GA-P35-DS3L, C2D 6750, with 4GB Ram. I have Vista on a seperate drive. To boot to a different OS I change the boot order in the BIOS. Here is my question: Different BIOS settings are better depending on the OS. For instance, S3 sleep will not work in OSX, but is superior power saving mode and desirable in VISTA. Is there any way, using a macro or booting from a flash drive or something, that I can automatically change the BIOS so to swtich from S1 to S3 when booting vista and from S3 to S1 when booting into OSX??? Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 NO!!! The bios is HARD Coded on the machine where a macro is software based!

riff-raff Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks for the replies. But check this out: I was screwing around in the Bios - and S3 sleep works now for osx! The machine completely powers down, board and fans are all off. I have to hit the power button to wake it - but is comes up maybe 7 seconds and everything works!! Is anyone else using S3 sleep in 10.5.2.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me@home Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I use XP SP3 and OSX Leo 10.5.2 and with XP (S3 in bios) sleep is woking as mentioned above (cooler don't turn around anymore, deep sleep), OSX doesn't wake up anymore (have to press the powerbutton to turn the machine on again and it just reboots). maybe another mach_kernel ?
