So I tried both Legacy and UEFI boot methods, no luck. I changed the SMBIOS from MacPro6,1 to iMac13,2 This has resulted in much higher performance in cinebench, better speed stepping (higher turbo freq and lower idle freq) and smoothed out graphics in Rise of the Tomb Raider. I think this is due to the iMac having NVIDIA graphics on board as the MacPro6,1 was never available with NVIDIA. I tried to stay with a SMBIOS definition which has Ivy Bridge, although the MacPro definition is a closer match to my hardware (C600 chipset and Xeon E5 cpu with ECC memory) What I have now is an interesting inject of USB devices, I've been through the whole USBInjectAll plug a device into all ports and note the ports active in IORegistryExplorer, the SSDT that resulted didn't change from the previous one though. However I now have two devices complaining about being over current in the system log, this device is not in the DSDT anywhere. 000578.792648 AppleUSB20HubPort@1d180000: AppleUSBHostPort::interruptOccurred: overcurrent detected with port status 0x4000, localSimulatedInterrupts = 0x0 000583.866713 AppleUSB20HubPort@1d170000: AppleUSBHostPort::interruptOccurred: overcurrent detected with port status 0x4000, localSimulatedInterrupts = 0x0 I then looked at pmset -g log, I think USB is my sleep issue, so I'm working on finding a way to correct the way it's detecting it.

I've replaced AppleIntelE100e.kext with IntelMausiEthernet.kext. I've tried other SMBIOS Mac Models. So far all behave the same way when I try to sleep. The one idea I have now is to switch the BIOS into legacy mode instead of UEFI.

Never tried mieze, I’ve used AppleIntele1000e for years in all my previous hacks. Do you suspect it as the cause?

So what is the next step for troubleshooting this? ACPI isn't my area of expertise.

Hi MaLd0n, I've sorted out the WhateverGreen and AppleALC issues. Sleep though is weird, the system sleeps for a couple of seconds, then attempts to power up, diag LEDs 3 & 4 on the Case start flashing, fans spin up to full speed, screen stays asleep, the system is not responding to anything, not even ping from another device on the network. From the information I can find, LEDs 3 & 4 flashing simultaneously points at memory issues, I've already tried swapping in different memory and had successful results from memtest and the onboard diagnostics. On reboot there is no notice about kernel panic, and the logs have no clues. Any ideas?

Dude, do you ever sleep?? Thanks for the quick reply. Now the Error about IMEI device-id is gone, but is replaced with WhateverGreen: weg@ failed to apply vit9696 Patch 7 I assume this means the patch is not required?? Sleep still doesn't work and I still need to put -alcoff to get it to boot. Regards, zombiRon

Hi MaLd0n, Thanks for looking at this, and hope you enjoyed the beer Initial DSDT looks really good, system boots much faster and cleaner, there are less errors in verbose boot, but... 1. I can only boot system with -alcoff boot option otherwise it hangs (photo attached) 2. sleep doesn't KP and reboot like before, but doesn't power down to low power state. 3. WhatEverGreen still complains "IMEI device (00:60:00) has device-id 0x1D3A, you should change it to 0x1E3A" The spec of the system just in case RunMe doesn't collect it... Nvidia GTX1050Ti Dell Precision T3610 6 Core Xeon E5-1650 v2 and 32Gb ECC RAM Samsung 256Gb m.2 NVMe connected via PCIe adapter card Hope this feedback helps, here is latest RunMe as requested along with photo of verbose boot without -alcoff. http://www.mediafire.com/file/jlqwfxn18pl9eaj/Send_me_MacPro.lan.zip/file http://www.mediafire.com/file/pu78betb5uc9m2n/IMG_0217.HEIC/file Thanks and Regards, zombiRon

Hi MaLd0n, Would you have a look at my DSDT please? There is a patched one I attempted in the archive along with the Clover OEM dumps. I'm struggling with Audio and Sleep now. I know USB3 will never work as it's an NEC Renesas. http://www.mediafire.com/file/3ln0rr2lvo39oow/Send%20me%20MacPro.lan.zip Regards, zombiRon
