This code has nothing to do with restart, this only fixes shutdown. Restart fix is in bootloader.
Is there no possible fix for restart in the DSDT? I already have restartfix=yes in my bootloader and actually fixes nothing, restart still fails. My shutdown is fine with vanilla files/DSDT. It would make sense to me that if my system can not restart and I get a shutdown an adjustment to the ACPI code for when restart is called could be possible.
Here is what I get with and without restartfix applied in AnVAL valvs bootloader that I use.
Without shutdown works.
With shutdown works
Without restart = black screen
With restart = shutdown
I thought your fix would help if it was either problem, restart or shutdown. Maybe I need a new fix specific to me. If thats the case Ill never figure this out.
Hope you can help...
Thanks
UPDATE: Valv has pointed me to this fix:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=192518&view=findpost&p=1363388valv also has an edit to the FADT table applied to his bootloader. I think I figure out why that fix or maybe why Duvel300 fix may not work for me. I have ACPI 2.0 and the FADT fix he refers to is for ACPI 1.0.
I've been reading so much and now I'm not sure what I need anymore. A DSDT fix, a FADT fix or some combo of both. It seems so silly all I have is restart fail me. It has to be FADT but how to extract mine and edit it. No one explains this anywhere. Duvel300 said he would make a guide but I cant find ref to it anywhere prob never happened because bootloaders started addressing this issue.
Can someone HELP ME? PLEASE!!!
