Strange indeed. You have an interesting set of circumstances - I have some questions for you below. Two theories: 1) Driver deadlock • Configd is hung in a mig call into the kernel for IOPMSetAggressiveness. • Since you say this is frequently correlated with sleep problems, I suspect there's a deadlock somewhere on the wake side of sleep/wake that disables a driver or two, but leaves the system as a whole more or less functional. • Deadlock on wake could explain why the IOPMSetAggressiveness call is stuck. It could be waiting for a lock/workloop that's deadlocked elsewhere. 2) "Automatic" CPU setting in Energy Saver, hang in platform expert changing CPU speed -> Was there any 3rd party non-Apple hardware (or kext-level software) present every time you saw this problem? It sounds unlikely given the amount of testing you've already done, but I have to ask. -> Can you send me (privately, off list) a System Profiler report so I can take a look at your hardware? -> Email me the ouput of "pmset -g" from Terminal -> What's the CPU Speed slider set to under the Energy Saver options? Try it on Reduced or Highest for a few days. Does either one generate the problem? I've been having a strange problem with configd and I was directed here from another list with my question/problem. My machine is 1.8 G5 (single), 10.4.1. configd keeps going into state "Us" when viewed with ps -aux. This is a regular occurrence: happens at least once a day, but usually more when it's being used. It does not appear to ever get out of this state by itself and a restart is required. KILL doesn't work and configd ignores -HUP. This manifests itself by erratic sleep-related behavior (won't sleep, won't wake up, can't mount external drives, ignores certain preference changes) and if left in that state for a long time other crazy things start happening: When typing the insertion point will jump all over the place in a document, problems with iMovie, weird stuff. I've been through every level of troubleshooting: PRAM and permissions; clean installs; removing/checking RAM; replacing video cards, motherboards and eventually the entire machine. Name it, it has been covered. The problem existed on 10.3 and now on 10.4. It has been there since day one on both machines. I've been directed to use configd -dv, but that doesn't seem to produce much output on 10.4. Others have said sudo sample configd 10 10. I don't know what to do with that. My Apple Store has "escalated" this but I'm going to keep at it on my own. Any ideas on what I might be able to do? This is really bizarre and I'm not the only one with these issues.
