I have a 99% working Optiplex 755 SFF running Snow Leopard 10.6.6 with everything working except for sleep using a retail DVD along with iBoot CD method. Could something in the DSDT be affecting the sleep? I have installed SleepEnabler for 10.6.6 but I return only to a black screen after trying to wake the computer. Would someone please be so kind enough to take a look at my DSDT file and let me know if there is anything that can be modified to correct this issue?

Let's up the ante. I will send $5 via Paypal to whoever can help make corrections to my DSDT and also help fix the sleep issue.

That seems like some good news that you have managed to figure out one of your kext is causing a kernel panic. How did you go about obtaining that information and which SleepEnabler.kext are you using?

Field Note #1 @sanssome 2011-03-27

I wish I had something offer, but I too am in the same boat. Using TonyMac's installer and a EFI string for my nVidia card I have everything working perfectly on this machine except sleep. Mine actually enters sleep, but there's no way to bring it out of that state.

Field Note #2 @sanssome 2011-03-28

BTW...i found there is a fairly recent version of sleepenabler.kext out there and this does work, but in my case I receive a kernel panic in AppleIntelE1000e.kext when it wakes up. I had to go in and delete the sleepimage to get it to boot. Haven't found a way around this problem yet.
