A solution to Macbook Pro’s crapping out on standby/suspend
Looks like I have finally found a solution to my Macbook Pro always crashing on suspend/standby. Before my solution was to have it auto hibernate via setting permanent hibernate via the console. That solution stopped working a few days ago. (Probably some new patch from Apple that screwed it up — Note: I almost typed Microsoft…) So I did some research. Turns out that if you unplug the Macbook from power and *any* perhipherals (usb, firewire, anything) first (and you get rid of the hibernat settings you had) then it goes into standby very happily and wakes up in about a sec when you open the lid. Looks like I won’t be permabooting in XP on this puppy for now.
Summary: Unplug EVERYTHING, including power from the laptop before you close the lid and you should be fine.
