10.5.8 doesn't seem to work with it. Getting the same message as jenbi posted, and forcing it with ForceWake=y makes it say something about an improper signature.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Sleep worked once then I get all that stuff about hibernate being too old and force waking doesn't solve it either. I lose wifi and sometimes bluetooth on wake. Same as before.

Sounds like it's waking up from sleep before the power is removed while it is in sleep.

I tried this again...same results.

Basically, whats happening is:

After setting it all up, i close the lid to sleep (or press the power button and select sleep) and it goes to sleep instantly like it did before any of the changes. Its almost as if its completely oblivious that hibernate is enabled. Then, i do the whole power pull trick, restart, and i get that message whilst booting.

Default hibernate doesn - 08-15-2009, 07:46 AM

I have a Mini 9 with 10.5.7 and this is not working for me either.

I followed the instructions twice just to be sure. Bascially it goes to sleep when I close the lid, and the light pulses. If I open the lid it never comes back but the screen is "on" because it has that dark/glow. SLEEP USED TO WORK before this however (how can I get it back please?? ). The only option I have is to power off by holding the button down for 4+ seconds. Then upon power up, I don't see anything about hibernate files? "sudo dmesg | grep hibernate" shows nothing. i do see a chameleon image in the top of the screen that I never had before. and a nicer apple icon/logo below it.

Mini-9. 2GB RAM. 32GB SSD. OSX 10.5.7 only (not multi-booting). Chameleon-2.0-RC2-r640-bin. DellEFI 1.2a5.

any ideas? especially how to get my suspend to work again if I cant have hibernate (yet)?

run dellefi again and get it to re-install everything and disable hibernate

Random question, but would this work on a Mini 9?


Sold my Mini 9 for a larger netbook, one that's easier on my wrists and hands.
Current Machine: 2010 MacBook Pro 13", 2.4 GHz C2D, 4GB RAM, Win7 Pro x64/OS X 10.6.3

And I play with my girlfriend's Mini 10v ^_^.

Interested in using MATLAB on the Mini 10v? Check out my benchmarks!
