Inspiron 15-3521: Can't get sleep to work

Not open for further replies.
my hibernation not working, sleep no problem, however when waking from hibernation, resuming hibernated mac on clover([r4506] ) boot menu results in instant reboot, and hibernation state is gone.

Hibernation is not supported on Hackintoshes. Reference: this guide.
 
Ah, I was unaware of that. Thanks for the correction. I just assumed Rehabman's guide was accurate.

he probably just couldn't be bothered, and no point for hibernation on desktop anyway.
I was able to enable hibernation with the help of hibernationfixup.kext on previous version
 
Hi! I just got around to fixing my Hacktop up to the way it was before (it took about a day and a half). Nevertheless, the patchmatic output decompiles now (Yay!).

Current state of sleep is that screen goes black, and nothing can wake it up. I tried both keyboard and the power button.

Your kextcache output proves kexts are not installed correctly.
All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.

I didn't check anything else.

Best to disable hibernation.
HibernationFixup.kext may help you implement it, but you'll likely have issues even with it.
 
I made some progress with darkwake=0/2. It seems now, after waiting a minute or two, the laptop does seem to go to sleep. The fans stop whirring, the display/indicator lights turn off. If I try to wake it up, the indicators come on, the fans/HDD starts whirring, the backlight comes on but the screen is completely black. I've Googled, and this seems to be a backlight issue (which is weird because my backlight and brightness controls work fine).

The second issue it could be is a bad EDID, but in your guide you say that's just for Skylake/Kaby Lake systems, and mine is an Ivy Bridge. Is it worth trying?

The third thing would be calling _OFF on wake and _ON on sleep. I didn't do that yet, but I did disable my discrete GPU.

I tried raising the brightness and doing other stuff to fix the black screen, but to no avail. Here's the latest debug files for your convenience.
