ASUS X299-A Opencore issues (sleep, memory modules, wake from BT)

[Junologue]

Partially Solved

EDIT: Sleep is solved by setting all usb's as internal. Waking up from sleep still maintains bluetooth connection as well as mounted disks, (i guess that's because usb disks never sleeps now). My thunderbolt devices also comes back when waking up from sleep.
The wake process is very long though, 20 seconds before display comes on and login screen appears. A speed up advise on this, would be highly appreciated

Below is still not solved, so feel free to help

Spoiler: Problem 2 - Wake by bluetooth and 'UDP'-LAN

So i still can't wake my hack by my bluetooth keyboard, this would be very handy since i am planning on not having any usb-keyboard connected. Wake by bluetooth-devices is enabled in settings. I got WOL from outside my network by replacing intelmausi with the kext from this repo https://github.com/maaeps/IntelMausiEthernet-WOL/releases
as well as enabling 'wake for network access' in energy saver. The problem is, now my hack wakes up randomly and reentering sleep again. see log here:

If i disable "wake on network access", i can still wake it up from my local network, but not remotely while on the road.

Spoiler: Problem 3 - Memorynotificationdisabler without WEG (Solution is on the way)

Since the removal of Whatevergreen.kext, the MacProMemoryNotificationDisabler.kext is creating a KP whenever i open "About this mac". And the popup with misconfigured memory modules is quite disturbing. My hack runs very smooth without WEG since i am on MacPro7,1 and have a AMD Navi card. Any hints on this?

IOIIIO on github have a new release ready soon that solves this.

I might add more problems/wishes as i find them.

Cheers!

sleep solved:
changing all my USB to internal in Hackintool might have solved to sleep problem. And added the SSDT-UIAC.aml to ACPI folder. Since system report still states my usb3.1(usb-c) disk has a speed "up to 5gbps", i guess this doesn't affect the transfer speeds. But correct me if i'm wrong.

Also @CaseySJ i wonder if adding the UIAC.aml will cause any conflict on the usb ports in the TB3.aml since they both calls them.
(i'll attach both of them including screenshot)

Was the system previously unable to enter sleep or unable to exit sleep?

Because each USB (XHC) controller is independent, there won't be a conflict if the same port name is used in one or both, or if a port is disabled on one or the other.

Previously the system was unable to enter sleep, with bt header cable plugged into internal port on mobo.
Without the cable it wouldn't exit sleep without KP.

Noticed now that when it had been sleeping for a longer period (aprox 1 hour), bluetooth was broken on wake (i have the bluetooth icon in status bar but cant connect my devices, not even after resetting the bluetooth module through debug menu) and my usb-c external drive was disconnected multiple times.

found another thread with same issue, and same wifi+bt card:

Wake from Sleep with Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse not working

Hi, thanks to the great information on this webpage I build up my own Hackintosh some weeks ago and finally I got everything working properly. The system is build on a Asus H110M-K mainboard and running with i5-7600 CPU. Because I want to use a Apple MagicMouse and Bluetooth Magic Keyboard I...

Another update of my progress.

Now it sleeps like it should, bluetooth doesn't break anymore. I can wake it up on lan, but not from outside my network, and also not from Plex when i'm gonna watch a movie. That is however low priority since i have a script i can run that wakes it up "locally" from my cellphone.

I still can't wake it up by bluetooth keyboard, but i haven't found anyone else with the same type of wifi/bluetooth card that have that thing solved either, so i guess it is what it is.

What i did find though while navigating through console, was a message about my TSC being Unsynchronized. This is weird cause i have a proper TSCAdjust. I haven't gotten any kernel panics either. This was in the process of wakingup from sleep as well, so maybe it was just a one time situation?

Also not all threads. Here is log:

But one last disturbing thing, that i would love some help with, if possible.
When waking up, through keyboard or power button. My monitor still has no signal until i push the keyboard AGAIN after 5-6 seconds. It doesn't wakes up automatically.

It does however if i wake it up by VNC or Screen sharing.

Any clues? @CaseySJ

Regarding Disk not Ejected Properly, in many cases we can solve this by down clocking memory to either 2666MHz or 2933MHz. This is done in BIOS by setting memory multiplier to 26.66 for 2666MHz or 29.33 for 2933MHz.

Regarding One key Wake from Sleep, in many cases setting darkwake=0 resolves this, but in other cases a different value may be needed. The proper solution is to use Osy86's SSDT-USBW.aml in combination with USBWakeFixup.kext. Details are located here. Again, this may work on some systems and not others. As with all things Hackintosh, your mileage may vary.

Huh, didn't know memory clock speeds could affect sleep issues. Not willing to sacrifice my 3200mhz ram speeds for that though xD

Thanks so much again for all the advices, gonna check that SSDT's and try to implement it.

@Junologue Reviving this old thread to ask about this script of yours. How does that work? Can you share? Would be great to wake up the mac from the couch for accessing Plex!
