Hibernation/Smart Sleep broken with SSD in drive bay
Hi everyone.
I have a late 2008 13in aluminum macbook 2.4ghz, 4gb
with a 500gb drive in place of the original drive
and a 256gb titan g.skill ssd instead of the optical drive (mce tray).
The 256gb is the primary drive, he 500gb is for data/backup.
The system runs wonderfully and fast! However, I lost the ability to hibernate
or smart sleep. I've checked all the parameters in terminal and nothing helps.
I think it may be that the hibernation file doesn't like to be on the secondary
SATA where the optical drive used to be. Maybe an osx issue.
Basically what happens when I hibernate is... the screen turns off but
the indicator light on the outside of the laptop doesn't dim. it remains bright.
it should pulse like when I put it to sleep (which works) but instead it stays bright. indicating the hibernation process didn't complete. then when I try to wake it up, it's non response and I end up having to hold the power button.
Normally this is no biggie, however, when I run low on batteries on long flights, I have to shutdown the macbook (closing all my files etc) and then swap the battery. I'd like to be able to just hibernate, swap and come back up quickly without losing files.
any ideas?
