Nothing yet. I'll have to setup a test box to see if I can replicate.

When it hangs I can still ssh on to it. So are there any commands/logs that might have useful output as it's hung that I could get you?

Also when I try to kill -9 xbmc that seems not to work as well. Not sure if that signifies anything.

Cheers,

Hi,

I had the same problem with my mac mini.

The cause is somewhat related to the mac's hibernation mode.
On recent mac (after fall 2005), the selected mode is "safe sleep" which means RAM written to disk.
So I activated the old sleep mode, and it solved the problem!

To know your hibernation mode, launch Terminal and execute the following command:

Code:
$ pmset -g | grep hibernatemode

If you get output something like : hibernatemode 3 then you are in safe sleep mode.

To activate the old sleep mode, execute the following command in Terminal:

Code:
$ sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0

Restarting is not required for these changes to take effect.

Hope this helps

I've just had a look at my hibernate mode, and unfortunately I'm already in mode 0.

So doesn't look like this is my problem Sad
