[solved] snow kitty refuses to leave dreamland [won't wake up from sleep]

[djnitehawk]

UPDATE: problem solved... see post below...

hi guys,

thanks to the many guides in this forum, ive been able to get SL 10.6 running fine on my pc except for one little thing which has been driving me nutts for almost a week now.

you guessed it right... it's none other than "SLEEP" :-)

before i go any further, here's my configuration:


intel dg33fb (ich9-r chipset) mobo
core2 quad cpu @ 2.4ghz
4gb ram (2 x ddr2 800mhz)
nvidia 8500gt 512mg (dvi/vga)
2 x 320gb hdds in apple softraid
atheros 5006 wifi card
builtin lan (intel 82566 chip)
chameleon 2 rc2.r640 (installed manually to both helper partitions of the raid)
boot plist:

arch=x86
GraphicsEnabler=Yes


patched dsdt.aml with new hpet fix (dsdt patcher gui)
kexts used:

voodoops2controller + AppleACPIPS2Nub
fakesmc
openhaltrestar
voodoohda
intel82566mm



at first, i was unable to put the computer to sleep at all. it would only switch off the hdds. the power led and fans remained on.

so i manually patched the dsdt uhc1-6 + ehc1-2 devices with the device ids from ich10 as explained here (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=168014&st=0).

that only solved half the problem. now the machine goes to sleep just fine, but never wakes up.

when i try to wake it up by either clicking a mouse button or the power button, the hdds spin up and nothing happens. the screen stays blank.

one other observation is, the mouse doesnt fully light up like it is normally. it does however emit light as i click the mouse buttons while in this "stuck in sleep mode".

here's some of the things ive tried but to no avail:


use chameleon rc1.r430 with pc-efi 10.1 boot file :-(
nullcpupower + sleepenabler kexts :-(
ahciportinjector kext :-(
efi string for graphics in boot plist :-(
removing iousbfamily kext :-(
booting with no graphics or efi strings :-(
booting without dsdt.aml :-( wont boot at all. KP on boot...
nvinject and corevidia :-(
set sleep state in bios as S1 :-(
slice's latest iousbfamily.kext :-(

the weird thing is this same machine sleeps and wakes fine under iatkos v7 wih slice's iousbfamily.kext.

is anybody else having the same problem as me?

has anybody with an intel dg33fb mobo managed to get their machines to sleep and wake properly?

any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated...

LONG LIVE THE HACKINTOSH SCENE!!!

I have a similar problem with both Leopard and SL. After you try to wake up hold down cmd+alt+F12 to put it back to sleep again, then try waking it a second time. This works for me, but still not ideal. I dont know what would change from one sleep to the next, and nothing in the console helps at all...

thanks for ur input but that key combo does nothing on my machine...

btw, i've solved my sleep/wake issue recently...

what did it for me was:

chameleon2 rc3 bootloader
dsdt patch for usb built-in
"-v" boot flag

now my machine sleeps and wake up fine...

but even now if my machine doesnt boot up with the -v flag... it doesnt wake up...

if i do boot up with the -v flag... it sleeps and wakes everytime...

ive tested this repeatedly many times and the -v is the game changing factor that fixed my wakeup issue...

so try booting with -v and see if it makes any difference on ur machine...
