Professor Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 ok, it seems we're nearing a solution for the shutdown/restart problem, if you have the vanilla kernels installed. I stumbled somewhere else over a nice little tool "poweroff fix" which in fact came from this insanelymac-thread Fix PowerOff issue of poweroff on some Motherbroad while using vanilla kernel. patch source: ovof http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=73234 script&packager: cobranail more infomantion: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...=69823&st=0 it seems, that the shutdown/restart issue has something to do with leopard not being able to shutdown all of the cores of the processor in the process of shutting down. What the poweroff fix does, is turning off all but one core of the processor after giving the command to shut down. I tried it and it works perfectly on shutting down. Means: I can totally shut down the computer. Of course the cores are all back when you turn the machine back on. What it until now doesn't do: On restart it won't work. Since it is only an extension, it will work with vanilla kernel even after an update etc. Note, that you have to install CHUD in order to let it work properly, CHUD is included in the XCode package. I'm upping this now and will post the link to it here. For those who don't have CHUD installed with Xcode and don'T want to install the whole Xcode package, its included as a single package in the file you can download. If you get it to work, but love the pushing of the power button more, an uninstall script is included. Update: Here is the promised link http://www.mediafire.com/?axujydeex3t Cheers, Professor© Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellair Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Ok you guys, this weekend I'll buy all the stuff needed to bring my own hackintosh alive and kicking. The only thing I'm not sure off is the motherboard. I'm still hesitating between the GA-P35-DS3P rev 2.x and GA-P35-DS4 rev 2.x. Any thoughts or remarks are greatly appreciated Or maybe just another mobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts or remarks are greatly appreciated Or maybe just another mobo The GA-P35-DS4 has Firewire, the DS3P as far as I know not. Since I wanted a MB that is as much compatible to real macs i decided to spend the few bucks more to get Firewire also. The price difference isn't really that extreme to make that a difficult question. You should go for the DS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninetto Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 The DS3P DOES have firewire. As far as I know, the only major difference between the DS3p and DS4 is the sound... DS4 has an added DTR decoder or some such nonsense which was not important to me... so I picked the DS3P and am very happy with it. good luck, ninetto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coda Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 The P35-DS3P, EP35-DS3P, P35T-DS3P, and P35-DS4 are all still in stock in my local shop in Brno. I regret a little buying the DS3R because I have other (real) Mac's in the house so the firewire would have been quite useful, plus I don't think the 3R is the best board of the bunch, I think this is the DS4.

DvP Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Funny i've got the EP35-DS4 and for me reboot and shutdown works well with vanilla kernel but sleep doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gael Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I have an installation of Kalyway 10.5.2 Install DVD on my Hac Pro with Vanilla kernel - Shutdown and Restart don't work for me - I need to do that manually. Sleep appears to work but I have no interest in it as I never use it! I also have sound but no mic working although it appears in my sound options. Question is - would it be appropriate to apply the updates here to my installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 updated to v8, see first post Thanks for the update. But a little information about the advantages of the new drivers would be cool, if there are any. how about putting the files on mediafire? This waiting cycle at rapidshare is extremely silly. i realize, that there is only one ich9r driver to be installed. cool. what does it do?

LS8 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 ...with Vanilla kernel - Shutdown and Restart don't work for me...would it be appropriate to apply the updates here to my installation?Try one of the kernels included in v8...i realize, that there is only one ich9r driver to be installed. cool. what does it do?It is vanilla kext, only with internal/external disk fix. See http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=695386...a little information about the advantages of the new drivers would be cool, if there are any...If v7 worked for you, then you don't need v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS8 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Not with vanilla kernel. It works with patched kernels (inclulded in v8). Sleep, shutdown and reboot seem to work with ToH_Leopard_kernel_9.2.2_Intel_SSE3_EFI kernel - need to do further tests. edit: sleep/reboot works with ToH 9.2.2 kernel, shutdown works sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Grez Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 LS8, Hope you dont mind, I have a mirror for V8 with no wait times http://www.filedropper.com/leogap35ds4packv8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_gael Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 ls8 - thanks for your suggestion! Question - is the site where the V8 file is hosted actually Rapidshare? my premium login does not work on the site and I notice the address is rapidshare.de not rapidshare.com - it has a header calling itself rapidshare but although its similar enough that I mistook it initially it is not the same. Have you had any problems with it? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
