@banini hey I went back to my airwalk extra (without the sleepenabler - well I changed the .kext extension but I left it in there) and dsdt but I got the kp I first posted. My bios is sz50. I guess my bios is newer - what do you think of that?

EDIT: dang banini_jeque you did it! i made some edits to the airwalk extra folder - so i dropped in the original folder but put in my custom boot.plist and I booted! Wow.. what a relief to be back in my installation. Thanks for the suggestion. Now I just need to get sound working I guess and then start seeing if anything else is broken. What puzzles me is that originally I had no DSDT or airwalk Extra folder but now my system won't boot up without it! I have no idea what I did. Haha.. I'm so lost. well at least for the moment I have something to fall back on. I guess I'll copy /Extra and make changes one at a time to keep track of what I do.

About the DSDT.. I booted using airwalk's DSDT and I did not get the CMOS reset, so that's good! BUT, I noticed when I decompiled his DSDT that it only has a single entry for RTC length - whereas when I make my own DSDT and decompile it, it comes with 2 RTC length entries in two different headings - not the single "CMS" deal. What is that all about? Is it relevant?
