I have an evga x58 board and I have been struggling to get this thing to sleep. I know a lot of people are struggling with the same issue but If anyone has any input that would be great, I don't really know where to go next. Everything…

“i noticed the usb issue as well, other than that it seems good for me”

“Sorry, I forgot to mention that you need the 10.6.2 sleepenabler.kext... My boot file is 315kb, I think it chameleon but could be pc efi...my extra folders too large, heres my dsdt”

“It's not oc'd right now, I set it to factory setting to make sure that didn't mess me up while I was trying to get this down”

“Getting sleep working: NOTE: Part C here is what I think will do it for most of us. First off, I am running this as a MacPro4,1. Here is my smbios (note the SMbiosversion). If you are not already running this, I suggest editing your smbios.…”

“so five years later... I GOT SLEEP WORKING! Hah that took forever. I will post instructions soon”

“hey thanks for the info! i'm looking around for sleep fix as well…have you tried the new 10.6.2 sleepenabler kext? yes. not working.”

“I upgraded to the new bios. Works well. With HPET I actually was able to patch my DSDT to add in vanilla speedstep (no NullCPUPowerManagement) and the LPC device to ioreg. I get no c-state or p-state errors after my patch, but my geekbench …”

“I was looking for a stat app like that...I don't see CPU temp, only HD temp, but I do see processes if I click on the "mem" in the menubar to get the dropdown. Are you using the smbios from this thread or did you make your own? I was using …”

“i'm not getting cpu temp reads or memory processes listed in istat, is anyone else seeing this?”

“I added pcivendorid to legacyhda.kext to get rid of the following error message: Sound assertion "0 == pciVendorProductID" failed in "/SourceCache/AppleHDA/AppleHDA-179.1.4/AppleHDAController/AppleHDAController.cpp" at line 2682 goto Exit i…”

“guys: You might want to check out this thread on the SZ2Z bios and removing disabler.kext and nullcpupowermanagement.kext... http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=200950”

“1.) How do I boot into -v mode to see what is getting caught up (com.apple.Boot.plist?) Kernel Flags -x64 2.) How can I get the Chameleon boot loader to show so that I can select my other hard drive with Windows 7? Quiet Boot No GUI Yes 3.)…”

“stop reinstalling and work on a fix for your graphics card. do you have graphicsenabler set to yes in the com.apple.boot.plist? did u try an efi string? maybe try replacing the chameleon boot with pc efi and see what happens. if that doesn'…”

“I've heard a lot of windows users having issues with S3 sleep on our board too. If you have overclocked your cpu then forget about it. The latest bios version (SZ2Z, release about 3 weeks ago) adds HPET to our BIOS. Maybe it will help us. I…”

“This is a small issue I noticed but wanted to see if anyone knew anything about it: when I have a cd in my cd drive I can only eject through the OS, pressing the eject button on the drive does nothing. Anyone else have this issue?”

“Is there any way to test and debug sleeping issues without having to restart our computers and check our logs everytime that we try something?”

“yeah i hope someones working on sleep i was for a few days but i havent really gotten anywhere, my log messages never changed (something like "system WILL sleep" is the last message I get everytime) and i wasn't able to narrow down the issu…”

“you could use another HD with a copy of your SL installation (w/o windows) to boot from and select a startup drive, thats what i do for that issue”

“EDIT2: After looking at that .pdf, it looks like I forgot to change the AZAL to HDEF in this line of code: Method (_L0D, 0, NotSerialized) { Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USBE, 0x02) Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USE2, 0x02) Notify (\_SB.PWRB, 0x02) Notify (\_SB.P…”

“confirming that airwalks new 64-bit method works”

“There are two working audio options that we have. First is to port the 10.5 applehda.kext to SL (which airwalk did) and patch DSDT with the HDEF stuff. This method will only work in 32-bit mode. The other option is voodoohda. Works 32-bit a…”

“Also, in system prefs->sound->output make sure you have the right device selected. I couldn't get voodoohda to work after I patched my DSDT for hdef. I left AZAL in and installed and got "no audio devices found" in system profile but my sou…”

“do you have the correct voodoohda installed by kext utility in /s/l/e?”

“If ethernet doesn't work then read through the file that airwalk directed me towards for patching hdef and lan, you might find something there”

“Try my dsdt file (attached) and see what happens. Ethernet should work and it should be setup to receive voodoohda (it's not patched for hdef, when you patch for hdef voodoohda stops working).”

“Fate: I think for our purposes those two discs are the same (meaning I think that the OSInstall.mpkg is the same on both). I used the upgrade disc to do a full install. Jay: so everything works but video right?”

“is it just the video that doesn't work now? where are you getting stuck? obviously you haven't found a complete solution for your gpu yet. use verbose mode if you're not already”

“When you tried pc efi did you make sure you had GraphicsEnabler set to Y in your boot plist? Put nullcpupowermanagement back in, switch back to chameleon boot loader. Did you remove appleintelcpupowermanagement from s/l/e? I left mine in th…”

“http://netkas.org/?p=105 try pc efi? that's what i use”

“I was getting that for a while too, are you sure you have a compatible solution for your GPU?”

“you aren't using my com.apple.boot.plist because you still aren't in verbose mode if you are seeing the circle loading, boot in verbose mode (-v in boot file or at boot prompt) to help you debug and see where you get stuck, post the results…”

“Awesome, now help us get sleep and 64-bit audio DSDT working”

“I have the same board. check the screenshot attached. Are you sure your bios is configured correctly?”

“Worked out of the box for me, you might want to create a DSDT file from scratch. Also, look at airwalks link in his audio fix and download the file he talks about with a LAN DSDT patch, that might work for you”

“No it won't work for your board, google DSDT PATCHER and read some tutorials, it's one of the more important files in your setup”

“Hey sorry you also have to put your uuid and busratio in the com.apple.boot.plist”

“I attached my /Extra folder and my boot file (which goes in the / directory after unzipped -- it is just the latest version of pc efi). These files should be all you need. Open the /Extra/com.apple.boot.plist with a text editor and change t…”

“i am using the 4870, no efi or kext needed anymore thanks to pc efi boot file from netkas (netkas.org, you will learn a lot). boot with the -v flag for verbose mode (in your /extra/com.apple.boot.plist or at the boot prompt) so that you can…”

“Something to note about the sleep function: I am pretty sure my computer never makes it all the way to sleep. My fans stay on and my ipod will continue charging even though my display is off. When I sleep my macbook my ipod stops charging (…”

“What partition scheme were you planning on using alternatively?”
