Edit/Followup: Followup: I didn't realize there was an upgrade flasher for 1,1 to 2,1 - nevertheless, it did not solve the problem.

I flashed and am now a 2,1 at firmware MP21.007F.B06

I'm thinking this is more of a compatibility issue with the SMC. SMC Version (system): 1.7f10

ALSO: When trying to zap pram just now holding CMD OPT P R the system would not go into the second gong.

TO ME this means the issue is not a shut down issue but a WARM START issue, where something is failing after power is applied and before the EFI runs or completes.

It freezes BEFORE the empty grey screen.

No Reboot on MacPro using a new Samsung 860 EVO SSD

From the standard hard disk I can start, restart, and shutdown with no issues.

From the new Samsung EVO 860 I can start and shutdown, but I can NOT restart. It freezes with a black screen. If I remove and replace power, it will restart. Or I have to hold the power button till it shuts. The watchdog timer does NOT force a restart (I let machine sit in that state for over an hour, nada).

This is a new, fresh install on older hardware (MacPro 1,1) which has been upgraded to 8 cores with X5355.

I've done the kext mod to enable TRIM on the Samsung EVO 860, but the problem exists with or without that mod. Otherwise a virgin install.

I have (of course) reset SMC, zapped NVRAM/PRAM, including replacing the PRAM battery, run fsck in single user mode, Forced safe mode (boot-args -x) etc etc.

There seems to be something about that SSD that prevents a hot restart. But after searching for days, I cannot find what it might be that I might be able to patch.

FWIW, I put a Samsung EVO 860 in my MacBook (MacBookPro9,2) a few months ago, and have had no problems, which is why I bought the EVO for this server.

Any thoughts???

Thank you!!
