Deep sleep - cool!!!
Which Adapect card are you using? I had this problem and ended up pulling my card so my cpu would take its naps when told to.
Adaptec card...
It's a 2930. I took the same solution as you did (yanked the 2906 card) with my work machine, but needed the Adaptec at home for a scanner and tape backup system. So I'd been suffering with my "napping but not sleeping" machine all these months ;-).
Whew...Dat was scarry!!
Well, I thought I'd stick my old 2940UW in my box (Dual 533) and give it a whirl. At first I thought every thing was working fine except that my computer wouldn't go into deep sleep. Hmmm....while I contemplated the pro's and con's of keeping the card in the box I leaned back in my chair and placed my chin in my palm and let my fingers thump upon my lips. Ok, I'll leave it in for awhile and see if I can live with the computer not going completely to sleep while I'm not in front of if. Next, I put on some music on with iTunes, then it was off to the Disk Utility to reformat the drive. At some point during the reformat I started getting the most god-awful electric popping sound coming out of my speakers and then a complete failure of iTunes. The first thing I did was stop all the processes. My computer itself seemed to be functioning properly, but when I re-launched iTunes it seemed to work until I went to play some music...NOTHING. I was time for a command decision that required no leaning back and no thought whatsoever. I opened the case and yanked that card right on outta my box. I'm really quite a packrat when it comes to some of my old computer and peripherals, but this card may just get filed in the 13th bin so I'm never tempted to install it again..... |
