The new Safe Sleep function has been thoroughly explained on Hardmac. It allows the RAM content of the latest Powerbooks to be saved in case of power shortage. Good news: thanks to a hack found on http://matt.ucc.asn.au/apple/machibernate.html , this function can also be set to work on most Macs running OS X 10.4.3 (server excluded). Here's how you should proceed... of course at your own risks! Launch the terminal and run each of the following commands sequentially:
sudo nvram nvramrc='" /" select-dev" msh" encode-string " has-safe-sleep" property unselect'Reboot. In order to activate the function, you may then run the following command:
sudo nvram "use-nvramrc?"=true
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3If you want the safe sleep mode to become the default setting, replace the 3 by a 1. If you want to deactivate it, set this argument to "0" instead.
If you want to undo the previous commands, just run this one:
sudo nvram "use-nvramrc?"=falsePlease let us know how it worked for you.
