Leopard and Sleep

I'm having the same issue. I thought I was the only one, because I hadn't seen anyone post anything about it. Thank goodness you did because I was about to do a complete wipe of my system. I have submitted a report to apple, but have yet to get a response.

Do you use USB HUB?

Hi-

Do you have an external drive attached? If the drive "spins down" before you use the sleep command, does this result in the sleep freeze? If the drive is still "awake" does your machine sleep properly?

If you eject the external drive from the desktop, does the machine sleep properly?

I'm having the same problems right now. It's def a bug with leopard because it wasn't doing it before. Please advise how this will be fixed. Are there any updates for g5 Quads to solve this issue?

I am also having this issue on my MacBook. Nothing plugged in, not even power. It goes to sleep and then wakes up randomly for a few seconds and goes back to sleep.

i'm having the same problem with my iBook. i close the lid and i would say 1 out of 3 times when i open it again i get a screen showing "you must restart, hold down the power key until the computer shuts down"

My Mac pro has similar issues - and it never goes to sleep automatically now, only if I tell it to from the menu.

Hi Guys

I have exactly the same problem with my PowerMac G5.

When waking from sleep the fans go nuts and i have to use power button to shut down. Crazy.

Anyone found a way around it?

Thanks

Me too ...

I installed Leopard on my PowerMac (Dual 2GHz G5) and now have an intermittent sleep problem with it. When I return to the mac after a few hours idle time is show the Gray "Multi-lingual You need to restart" message. Never seen this before Leopard arrived.
The first time it happen I though it was because I plugged in a ipod while it was sleeping but latest time there was no such activity.

Both Panic reports showed I/O related trace backs ... the First was USB somewhere and this one looks like SATA

I have a main and extra sata Drive as well as a powered off external Firewire Drive.

Just after boot I see in the system log

Nov 14 18:20:29 localhost DumpPanic[30]: Panic data written to /Library/Logs/PanicReporter/2007-11-14-182029.panic

Wot I don't know is the time of the crash; in the crash report on reboot it says a date but that was about the time the dump was collected. Does anyone know how to figure out the actual date/time of the crash ?

Thanks

Same problem. No external devices.

I have a PowerMac G5 Dual 2.3, two 300gig HDs, and a Radeon 9800 Pro SE.

Nothing special, really.

Gannett,

You are experiencing a Kernel Panic as seen and described in Apple doc.#106227. If not, disregard.
FJ has some good KP tips.

I'm getting the same problem here on a PowerMac (Dual 800Mhz G4). I often come back to the computer to find a kernel panic on screen which mentions SATA and IO etc.
