Lion Sleep Issues, Sometimes going to, but mostly waking up.

I am running 10.7.2 and have been struggling to get all the sleep issues ironed out. I am using a custom DSDT (stock from this site with an edit for my graphics card). I have patched the AppleRTC for the CMOS fix and am using darkwake=0 in my boot plist.

Sleep works, but does not always behave the same. Sometimes it goes to sleep and wakes up fine. Other times, these are the issues I've noticed.

1) Upon the computer waking up, I get a black screen. I cannot VNC into the computer and am forced to do a hard reset by holding down the power button. Sometimes this works. Other times, when I turn the computer back on, the screen stays black. I then have to hold down the power button until the computer shuts off, turn off the power supply, then turn everything back on.

1B) On occasion, when I jump through the above hoops, the computer will display a BIOS overclocking error as soon as the computer powers up.

2) The computer wakes up on it's own, giving me the same black screen and unresponsive operating system. I am forced to do the same hard boot.

After a week of research on the internet, my hair has turned grey, fallen out, and I have punched my wall so hard that I now have a new window in my apartment. Any help, advice, or guidance is appreciated.

Hi there,

I'm having similar problems with Asus motherboard. for this option, auto/enable the options available and I'm using auto. because it does not enable the option to boot Lion.

regards,

Can you go into a little more detail about the option you are talking about? I'm assuming this has something to do with the CMOS settings. Are you talking about an overclocking setting?

I have my BIOS set to the recommended Lnx2Mac settings found on his blog - http://lnx2mac.blogspot.com/2010/07/opt ... ation.html

I am getting the following errors in the console:

After installing kexts from MultiBeast one by one, it turned out to be the USB 3.0 driver. No problems with my system and that next under Snow Leopard, only in Lion.

I have had similar issues with 10.7.2. Before 10.7.2 I could get my hackintosh to wake from sleep. Now with 10.7.2 sometimes it wakes and sometimes its just a black screen.

My system spec are as follows:

Gigabyte P55-UD4P
Intel Core i5 750 @ 3.6Ghz
8GB DDR GSKILL 2000mhz memory @ 1800mhz
ATi Powercolor HD5850 1GB graphics card
OCZ Agility 128GB SSD
Dual Black Western Digital 640GB drives running in Software Raid 0
OSX 10.7.2.

yossarian: Is your system overclocked? If so have you tried running it at the default speed to see if your system still has the sleep issue?

Try this. Found it on another thread regarding a similar issue.

installation Notes for Lion
Starting with MultiBeast v4.1.0, the default EasyBeast and UserDSDT settings are for Sandy Bridge motherboard/CPU systems. To make sleep/wake-up work in my system I had to remove the following MultiBeast default kernel flag additions: GenerateCStates=Yes, GeneratePStates=Yes and darkwake=0 kernel flags from the /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist file.

No, my system is not overclocked.

I have not tried this, but from what I know, P-States and C-States are supported by my processor. Dark Wake allows for one touch wake from sleep.

As I mentioned in an earlier reply of this thread, all my problems went away when I removed the USB 3.0 kext from my S / L / E folder.
