Well, at least you've got the /Extra to work. That's the most important.

What /Extra does is it rebuilds the file 'Extensions.mkext'. This is the file 
that controls the kext cache (i.e. tells what kexts the OS should be using to 
boot, without scanning your hardware again). So you will typically find booting 
a new OSX install or update is longer because it needs to build that cache.

You will find Keyboard & Mouse don't work because of the following:
1) kexts not loaded, or updateExtra not successful
2) You have a conflicting set of kexts that controls Keyboard & Mouse

To solve this, use NBI 0.8.4 RC1 to reinstall the General Extensions (used the 
modified RC1). This will make sure everything is bootable & usable.

Then follow steps "D.6" and "E.1 to E.7" on iKeny's 1008ha Hackintosh guide. 
This will make sure NBI's Keyboard & Mouse PS2 controllers don't conflict with 
VoodooPS2. FYI, you can install VoodooHDA in /Extra/GeneralExtensions, choice 
is yours)

If you use my folder of kexts, the above is already done, with most unnecessary 
kexts removed. Still, it's important that you remove NBI's Synaptics trackpad 
prefpane from your /System/Library/PreferencePanes as this can cause some 
problems as well.

Again best to follow ikeny's guide on the link above, it's the best guide so 
far, and fairly dependable up to 10.6.6. Just remember to use NBI0.8.4 RC1 
(modified), and use my dsdt.aml file.

Hi,

does anyone know how to enable dsdt sleep and speedstep on 1005HAB?
I've achieved vanilla sleep and deep sleep (without sleepanabler) by moving the 
_PR to _SB but lost speedstep. 
Another issue that I have usb devices get disconnected after sleep.

here is my custom DSDT: http://cl.ly/8OtI

If anyone can offer some insight on this please let me know, I've been trying 
various DSDT hacks for days now with no luck.

The most promising result I had was getting it to sleep by pressing the power 
button after putting it to sleep and pressing the power button (multiple times) 
again to wake it up.
