Dell E6420 voodoops2controller, battery and sleep issues

[sschuler]

I was successfully able to use Unibeast and Multibeast to get Yosemite installed on my Dell E6420. I replaced my wifi with an Atheros card. I have also installed an SSD. Most things are working quite well. I am having trouble with three main items. My trackpad, sleep/hibernate and battery status. I have scoured the boards trying to figure out the trackpad issue. I am not sure whether my trackpad is ALPs or Synaptics. Either way, it is not being detected, according to the system log. I have also been beating my head against the wall on the sleep/hibernate issue. I have made adjustments to hibernate modes etc, to no avail. What I have observed is that the fans never shut down. If I wake it right after the display shuts down, it works. After a few minutes, it will not recover and must be rebooted. The battery issue is very minor. I can live with it, but I am open to suggestions. Any help would be appreciated! THANK YOU!

Not a desktop. Moved to laptop support.

What is the manufacturer of your trackpad?

Did you implement power management and patch DSDT/SSDTs?

Rehab,


Thanks for the response!
I am not sure how to figure out who the manufacturer is. Is there a tool to probe for it?

Can I use the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement for 10.9 on Yosemite? That is all I see in the new MultiBeast.

Check in Windows device manager.

Yes.
