it's safe to update from 10.6.0 to 10.6.2 provided that you remove sleepenabler first before updating and replace it with a newer version of sleepenabler after (get the kext from netkas).

Using this guide as a finishing step the Please Sleep kext is loaded onto the system. My question is: Do you have to have the Please Sleep kext and the program loaded in order for the sleep function to work correctly?

Thanks

PleaseSleep is a fix for "automatic sleep", even without this app "manual" sleep works just fine. Note that 'the_accidental' from here and insanelymac has a working automatic sleep on his ES2L F10 bios but even after copying his bios settings to the dot or a new install, it's still wont work on me.. weird e.

also a much better alternative is a script called "RIP" from here, both works on my machine but i prefer RIP since it doesn't involve an ugly menubar icon.

I can't get around the "still waiting for root device" error. I've tried several IDE/SATA settings according to the OSX86 wiki where the problem is mentioned.

My setup is an ide-attached DVD-Rom and an completely unformatted SATA harddrive. As installation method i've chosen the external usb stick. Strangely both devices (hdd,dvd) turn on just before the message of the missing device appears.

thanks for any advice!
