Over the past week I did 2 things

a) replaced my Airport Extreme N router with a DLink router (I needed some QOS function and AEX does not have any)
b) added a SATA DVD drive

I can manually sleep the machine (from the Apple menu), but it no longer "falls asleep" on its own (via the timeout in Energy Saver)

Any ideas on what to check?

I can't find the wake on lan options in system preferences... according to

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3774

they should be on the Energy Save panel.. but I only see

Computer sleep (slidebar)
Display Sleep (slidebar)
Put hard disks to sleep when possible (checkbox)
Allow power button to put the computer to sleep (checkbox)
Start up automatically after a power failure (checkbox)

??

this is using the onboard NIC, rev 1 mobo.

Finally a successful install, then KP on upgrade to 10.6.2. "Version mis-match between Kernel and CPU...
Trying to track that one down.

I copied the retail SL to USB as stated in the guide (I'm on 10.4), then used the myHack installer exactly as indicated. Now when I try to boot up the target machine (by setting the flash drive as default boot device - under Hard Disk Drive priority) I just get stuck right after "Verifying DMI Pool Data"....

Do I need to create the flash drive on OSX 10.5? What is the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? Has anyone else run into this? Thanks in advance.

Ok, it took about 3 hours but I figured out my own problem. For whatever reason I had to replace the boot that the myHack program installed with PC_EFI v10.2.... (renamed to boot obviously, well, maybe not obviously to those like me who had no idea what they were doing).

To all the people with the blue screen/black screen with mouse issue which magically disappears after you put the box to sleep. Just ad NVenabler64.kext to your extra folder, rebuild extensions.mkext reboot and pray it works. JUST NVidia people obviously!

Hope it helps!

Mostly working. Still get a KP sometimes on re-start, and still trouble with waking. Time machine didn't finish, so maybe trouble there. But looking pretty good right now.

An update. The Wake on Lan option still does not appear in my Energy Saver.. BUT the function appears to be working.

I was able to use 'Fusion WOL' on Windows, and the linux 'wakeonlan' utilities and my MAC addr to wake my machine up after putting it to sleep.

As long as the function works, I can live without the preference being there.

Now I'm off to figure out how to prevent the machine from sleeping when I'm connected to my iTunes lib via Firefly Media Server (server on osx86, client on linux)

How do I boot into single user mode? I know the "command s" hold down, but where do I do it? I have been trying for about 3 days. I need to install new kexts and rebuild kext cache. I've tried at every point that seems logical to me. My install is the same as this thread.
