Random high CPU usage/Sleep/Wake problem

Okay I will try to find out. Is it okay to just delete all additional kexts on the existing installation or do I have to do another clean install?

And does this kext locking up have something to do with Sleep/Wake not working properly?

Clean install + add is probably more systematic.

Probably.
 
Okay, one last question before I re-install OS X..

About disassembling DSDT/SSDTs.

First I tried without the "refs" text you provide in the http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-laptop-support/152573-guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.html and saw 5 unresolved external control methods.

Code: 
     * iASL Warning: There were 5 external control methods found during
     * disassembly, but only 0 was resolved (5 unresolved).

Then I tried with the refs text and got even more external methods.. but 4 resolved, only 5 still unresolved.

Code: 
     * iASL Warning: There were 9 external control methods found during
     * disassembly, but only 4 were resolved (5 unresolved).

So I added these external methods I found in my DSDT to ref.txt. Is this good?

Code: 
    External (_SB_.PCI0.IEIT.EITV, MethodObj)    // Warning: Unresolved method, guessing 0 arguments
    External (HDOS, MethodObj)    // Warning: Unresolved method, guessing 0 arguments
    External (HNOT, MethodObj)    // Warning: Unresolved method, guessing 1 arguments
    External (IDAB, MethodObj)    // Warning: Unresolved method, guessing 0 arguments
    External (TNOT, MethodObj)    // Warning: Unresolved method, guessing 0 arguments


So my refs.txt now looks like this:
Code: 
External(_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP.SGPO, MethodObj, 2)
External(_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.H_EC.ECWT, MethodObj, 2)
External(_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.H_EC.ECRD, MethodObj, 1)
External(_GPE.MMTB, MethodObj, 0)
External (_SB_.PCI0.IEIT.EITV, MethodObj, 0)
External (HDOS, MethodObj, 0)
External (HNOT, MethodObj, 1)
External (IDAB, MethodObj, 0)
External (TNOT, MethodObj, 0)

After disassembling again with your refs+my added refs, the long message about unresolved external methods was gone. I even tried with only my refs and get this:

Code: 
    /*
     * External declarations that were imported from
     * the reference file [refs.txt]
     */

Do I benefit from disassembling with refs? Should I only keep my external methods that were found? Or just add them to the existing refs? Is this even correct?

When I disassemble with refs (either only your/my refs or both) I get 2 errors in SSDT-1.

Code: 
33, 6074, Name already exists in scope (_SB_.PCI0)
43, 6117, Existing object has invalid type for Scope operator (\_SB.PCI0 [Untyped])

Unless the unresolved externals cause a problem, not needed... The only reason to use refs.txt is when iasl guesses incorrectly regarding the number of arguments.

You need to move the refs.txt generated Externals as described in the guide.
 
For some reason the issue is gone.. it's fixed..

Sleeps works now perfectly without any problems, no random kernel_task high CPU usage, no losing sound, no black screen...


I updated Clover and put back my CD/DVD/BluRay drive in my laptop instead of using a 2nd HDD in a caddy.

Could it have to do something with the new Clover revision 3330?

It's so nice to have working Wake/Sleep again.. after so many month of trying to make it work and headache.. I even bought a MacBook Pro Retina and now it works on my Sony VAIO..
 
Hi,

Sorry to bump the thread, but im having similar problems.
I get high cpu% from kernel_task on a random basis. Sometimes a reboot will fix... sometimes y have to completely power down, remove battery, reboot and start with the -f flag. Other times a kernel cache rebuild and reboot helps.

I haven't found a definite trend yet.

Any pointers would be most appreciated.

kernel_task is high at the moment.

Comments/questions:
- way too many patched kexts on disk (you have a real mess... probably should start over, follow the guides here)
- from where did you download OS X?
- on what hardware did you create your USB installer?
- CPU PM not implemented

-Downloaded from the app store.
-Created USB installer on a 2009 macbook.
-I have noticed that when the kernel_task process is hogging my cpu, the PM is not working, but when Its running normal it is. I have noticed the difference (fans run lower) and checked also with intel power manager.

I will try over again. I've been meaning to upgrade and switch over to Clover.

I already gave you the info on CPU PM... PM is not implemented.
And you have a mess...
