MacTester57's HemiMac G4

Status
Not open for further replies.
Just trying to see if anyone has an idea.

I am trying to talk to a local Apple shop (not the Apple store) to see if they got the inverter for the 20" flowerpot. He wants a model number that begins with A13xx. What should I tell him?
 
I'm currently in the process of "Clovering" and "Yosemiting" the Hemi. It would work fine, BUT: Because Yosemite seems to have a bug with waking every 2 hours from sleep, I've found it running, but death in the morning. There was no screen anymore!

The only way to bring the NUC back to live was to take it out of the dome (the optical drive and all the other stuff below it too) and to take it apart. Then I had to disconnect the CMOS battery. Very annoying! At the moment I have the NUC Mobo "naked" on the table until I'm sure, that the CMOS will not be screwed up anymore... :banghead:

"Apple RTC" is activated in Clover "Kernel and Kext Patches". Theoretical this setting should prevent the CMOS from being overwritten...

Manual sleep and wake cycles are working fine. Any thoughts?

This is VERY strange.

My wife's G4 (DC3217IYE) has been sleeping regularly for a week now since it got Yosemite'd. No issue so far. Just checked the config.plist on that machine and yes Apple RTC checkbox is enabled.

What a pain having to disassemble, especially with the location of the NUC inside the HemiMac.

Certainly hope this doesn't happen again.

Ersterhernd,

Thanks for your reply. It still doesn't work... a real head scratcher! Some questions:
- are you running the DC3217IYE in Legacy or in UEFI mode?
- could you please post your clover config.plist?
- do you have a DSDT and an SSDT installed?
- If you are using UEFI mode - is EmuVariableUefi & CsmVideoDxe installed? (in drivers64UEFI)

I've tried countless BIOS and clover settings, BIOS 0030 (which was in use for months) and the new 0034 version (with a new compiled DSDT and the same patches as before)

Thanks and a Gruss

Click to expand...


Here's answers from my iMac G5 DC3217BY build. Wife is using hers at the moment, essentially same install though, its sleeps fine.


1. Running in UEFI mode.
2. Config.Plist attached
3. Just DSDT no SSDT
4. Here's a snapshot of all my installed drivers...

No problems whatsoever here yet with any Clover install. Very smooth transition.



Cheers!

Hi ersterhernd,

Thanks for your reply. You've pointed me to the right direction with your posted config.plist :thumbup:

It's a stupid mistake - I forgot to set "Drop OEM" in the "SSDT" section. If not set, the SSDT table from the BIOS is not dropped and there are two loaded. This is visible in MacIASL > File > New From ACPI (more than one SSDT is listed and this causes the CMOS reset during the periodical "Yosemite-bug-wake")

I've finally used an iMac 13,1 SMBIOS and my old SSDT for the i5-3427U CPU (as before with Multibeast). A new DSDT was compiled for the new 0034 BIOS

My drivers64UEFI directory content an the config.plist:

Hi mactester, an unrelated question.

Do you have any experience using silver conductive epoxy?

I'm preparing the HDMI to TMDS conversion on my next build and already have to hdmi joiners that you and kiwi used. However I don't have the tools or skills for this. Would a high quality Ag adhesive work do you think? I can get some locally here for 45.00 dollars.

Your thoughts?


Thx.

Hi ersterhernd,

I don't understand your question - do you intend to glue the connector instead of soldering? I've never used conductive epoxy and I guess this will not work.

You should just try to solder it (use a fine tip and a biiiig magnifying glass).

Good luck

Cheers!
