Finally after a lot of hair pulling i managed to get full working sleep/wake on my z68 asrock motherboard under lion. Restart and shutdown were working properly without the need of any modification/kext/dsdt/etc.
My system specs:
CPU: i5 2500k
Mobo: ASRock FATAL1TY z68 Professional Gen3
I know, i took an step forward and written such thread title having seen a few dsdt's from different asrock z68 boards, their WAK method are almost equal on all of them, so this should be working on others ASRock z68 boards.
1. The first thing to check are these bios settings, ensure you have set them as below:
2. DSDT edit, most important step. Thanks to hk93 for exposing that debug info!
2.1 Search for this line in the WAK method:
2.2 Delete that line, recompile the DSL and place the AML in the /Extra/ folder as DSDT.aml
3. Apply the speedstep patcher for the AICPM 10.7.2 and delete NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, repair permissions and rebuild kext cache. Reboot!
4. At this point you should be having a full working sleep/wake. Please don't forget to post your results if you have followed these steps!
Big thanks to Mald0n and flAked for their valuable input i got from them by reading dozens of posts at insanelymac.
Obs. 1: I'm not sure if having an SSDT with the processor turbo states helps on this but i worked on mine and i have it set on my extra folder even though the speedstep isn't really working on lion using imac12,2 definition (tested with MSRdumper, only 2 p-states reaching 16 and 48) as this is apparently a bug in the AICPUPM itself, according to what i read on the speedstep thread.
Obs 2: On my board z68-professional-gen3 i have no issues post wake up, everything works as expected (lan/video/mouse/keyboard) no slowdowns or flickering as reported on other mobo brands. One keystroke/click and my system wakes up in less than 5 seconds. Will be posting later my DSDT for this board.
