I tried to get sleep working with the boot0md file. No dice. I'm using Chimera 1.11. I can boot to Windows 7 just fine, but when I try to sleep it just drops to the lock screen.
My windows disk is disk1 so the path I gave for -u is /dev/rdisk1
fidsk440 appears to run fine.
The windows partition is active.
Any thoughts?
I take it you are running more than one hard drive, correct? If so, make sure your BIOS is set to boot into the Windows drive. If my understanding is correct, the modified boot0md which is stored on the Windows drive is designed to check for a valid Chimera installation on any other attached device. If you choose Windows from this method, it is designed to the fix the sleep issue. Booting to OSX will work as if you were booting from the OSX drive directly.
If you instead boot to your OSX drive from the BIOS, you'll be missing the advantages of this modified boot0 loader. Moral of the story is make sure you are booting to your Windows drive in the BIOS
Just wanted to say thanks. I looked into other threads and tried the BIOS settings there, but the damned thing wouldn't work. Tried your BIOS settings (I have pretty much the same thing, except with a Sandisk SSD), and it worked perfectly.
Glad it worked out for ya. I've been tweaking this system since I created it in August, and I've got it working quite well. I did make a recent change - set the XMP profile for my memory. This brings a new issue, where waking from sleep causes mouse and keyboard lag for about 30 seconds. I haven't been able to find a solution, and it's really not that big of a deal for me. I'd rather have the faster RAM.
Hi Cobra,
In the system profiler, can you tell me what your system identifier is? Mac pro 3,1 or something else? I notice you didn't specify a system identifier in multibeast.
thanks
As stork mentioned above, it's at the default (Mac Pro 3,1). I've heard this is the best one for getting good audio, so I've left it alone. I might try switching it to see if it fixes my mouse/keyboard lag issue as described above.
