Sleep problem - 10.14.6 Security Update 2020-002 related?

[DarkAngel88]

Hi all,

I had a fully functionning Hackintosh setup running Mojave 14.4.6 and got the notification that a new Security Update 2020-002 was available. I've installed it but since then, the sleep functionnality isn't working anymore. As soon as I put my computer to sleep (Cmd+Option+Eject), it wakes up immediately.

For historical purposes, I always had some issues with sleep on this build related to USB ports. I've tried numerous guides to build my own SSDT (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/the-new-beginners-guide-to-usb-port-configuration.286553/) and have renamed XHCI and EHCI. I've applied all sorts of usb port limit patch for 14.x (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/usb-port-limit-patch-for-14-1-14-2-14-3-14-5-14-6.268893/) to a point where it's getting confusing to know what is useful or not. I've also tried putting the computer to sleep while keeping only the usb keyboard without any success.

When getting the problem, running pmset -g assertions gives me the following:

Now I won't lie, I feel like this issue is the final straw. I'm using this build on a day-to-day basis and the sleep functionnality is vital to me. At this point, I don't know where to look for further hints on what to do next.

My question to you, is there anything I'm missing here. I'm out of options and would like a fresh pair of eyes on this.

Thank you for your time.

I haven’t experienced any sleep problems specifically related to any of the Mojave security updates (now in their 005 iteration).

However, I did have an issue where my perfectly working Hackintosh all of a sudden stopped being able to sleep.

The culprit? Turns out it was because I had formatted an external SSD as APFS. Once I reverted to HFS, sleep worked perfectly again. Formatting external drives in APFS messes sleep up!! They also have problems auto-mounting on boot, in my experience.
