Master Chief Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I had this sleep after an idle period problem on Leopard since 10.5.6 (I think) and it continues to bug me with Snow Leopard 10.6.1. Thing is; My hack will only sleep with a DVD in the drive (see last note) and thus if sleep works for you, without a DVD in the drive, then please attach a dump of IORegistryExplorer or at least tell me the installed DVD drive Brand/Type/Interface. A few notes: 1) Sleep works from the Apple menu/keyboard so that is not really the problem. 2) SleepEnabler.kext doesn't help. 3) The DVD drive LED goes on every 40 seconds without a DVD in it. I even tried three different TSSTcorp drives (currently using a TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223L with SB01 SB02 firmware) without any change. It might be my Asus motherboard (ICH9R) but I personally think that this is related to the drive brand/type. Thank you for helping a few sleepless buggers! Edit: Samsung HQ is apparently willing to look into this problem. That is when enough people complain about this sleep issue. Please be so kind to visit this contact page and let them know that you want this sleep issue fixed. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Chief Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Sleep after X time work fine on my Hackusing these kext's:fakesmc/openhaltrestart/legacyhda Thanks. I'll look into it right away. And so I did, without luck of course. Edit: I did add some text/info and I will update the firmware to see if that help. Other than that, still no idea what it is.

MacAndor Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi, I had a wierd problem on my hack too, when I used a Pioneer Drive, but since I use an LG drive there is no problem with it. the problem could be with the connection type, if u are in AHCI mode, then be sure to use SATA!!! And one more thing, try to turn off the put the HD to sleep option in the energy saver preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chief Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hi, I had a wierd problem on my hack too, when I used a Pioneer Drive, but since I use an LG drive there is no problem with it. the problem could be with the connection type, if u are in AHCI mode, then be sure to use SATA!!! Interesting. So what drive model are you using and is this with a ICH10 motherboard? BTW: I am using a SATA (AHCI) player, which I will add in my first post. Thanks for the reminder! And one more thing, try to turn off the put the HD to sleep option in the energy saver preferences. No hope. No joy (already done that). Thanks. Edit: I can even do unmount /dev/[targetDisk] with a DVD is inserted – sleep still functional but slow as ever before (up to 3 minutes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsXsO Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hola Jefe I don't have problems with sleep in any way. Going into sleep via button, apple menu or programed as well the wake up via keyboard mouse or power button" works very fast. But my dvd makes strange look ups sometimes like checking if a dvd is inserted when its empty. System console don't show anything and i am sure this in windows doesn't happen. here are my in sata ahci mode connected dvd player info from system profiler HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H66N: Revisión del firmware: CB00 Interconexión: ATAPI Soporte de grabación: Sí (compatibilidad con unidades genéricas) Ruta del perfil: Ninguno Caché: 2048 KB Leer DVD: Sí Grabar CD: -R, -RW Grabar DVD: -R, -R DL, -RAM, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW Estrategias de escritura: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO Soporte: Para mostrar las velocidades de grabación disponibles, introduzca un disco y seleccione Visualización > Actualizar. salu2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chief Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Done! My hack now sleeps with the TSSTcorp drive – the patch will be part of DSDT v2.6 in the P5K PRO thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your system sleeps when you insert a CD/DVD and/or when you remove the drive from the SATA ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't make auto sleep work, then I'm afraid that your problem is unrelated to the DVD drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried your DSDT patch but it didn't change anything. I'll keep using the RIP script for now. Thanks anyway. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS8 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Same problem here with GA-EX58-UD5 and LG GGW-H20L. I have to insert a CD/DVD in the drive to make automatic sleep working. How can I patch the DSDT on my motherboard? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DVD got into some kind of sleep and did not wake again, umount got stuck so did mdworker and finally the whole system. I tried some firmware updates up to the latest, but nothing really helped. I then put my SATA DVD-RW on an USB to SATA converter -> everything worked fine. I had now the chance to try another DVD-RW from Sony, an Optiarc. Plugged it directly to SATA and it works flawless now. It seems to be a problem with specific drives. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
