Noob going hardcore patching

[RehabMan]

Thanks RehabMan

I'm having a read of these guides and digesting.
I can see that X86PlatformPlugin has loaded, but when I did the pstate test using DPCIMsnager, it complained about my version of OS X, although I do get a good set of pstate reported by hwmonitor x8, x17, x24, x33. This keeps the cpu at 37 degrees when idle.


Are there any tell tale signs I could look for in ioreg for sleep problems?

If you have USB WiFi, it will likely cause sleep problems.

If you have not patched ACPI correctly, it will likely cause sleep problems.

Hi RehabMan

I'm getting there!
Computer now goes to sleep after I applied your usb_prw patch.
I don't think it's waking up correctly though?
When the computer wakes, it goes to Clover, boots the HFS drive and promptly restarts.
Then a second boot get's me back.
Should waking do this or just go straight back to the desktop with no clover boot?

No boot expected when waking from sleep. Your laptop is crashing/rebooting on wake...

Most likely due to incorrect ACPI patching, USB WiFi, or unimplemented/incorrect power management.

I'm using a pcie wifi card now.
Having a dig about and found this using console
14/04/2016 20:39:47.000 kernel[0]: Sleep failure code 0x00000000 0x1f006900
Is it trying to tell me something?

Interestingly sleep does the same thing in Windows 10.
Something must have happend to my laptop when I re-installed on my new ssd.
Will need to dig out my old drive now.

Make sure your SSD has the latest firmware.

I have a spinning rust clone of my SSD, same issue.
But, I have an older SSD with my original Windows 10 install on it and that won't wake correctly either.
So I need to get Windows sleep working before progressing.

Agreed. BIOS issue? Do you have the latest installed?

 

[sonicmule]

Latest bios installed version 208.
I thought replacing the Intel Wifi card with the Broadcom one may have caused the problem, but no, still a fresh start on awake.
I have to use hybrid sleep which is a sleep with hibernation to get it to work.
So, I think that's as far as I can go here!

A modern laptop that won't properly sleep in Windows seems very, very strange.

Perhaps you should contact the OEM.
