First post, so my apologies for possibly resurrecting a thread.

I have the G31M-ES2L Rev.2 board. I have sound working now, using a combination of the Lifehacker guide, swhya's kexts, and LegacyAlc883. However, I've come to an impasse.

I can't get mic or line in working. The volume meter shows that there is sound coming into the board, but no sound output from the device. Just to make sure that sound IS indeed working, I played a few YouTube videos, and no problems there.

Anyone have any solutions to this sort of issue, or should I give up on it?

Have you tried using quicktime to record from your mic?

A mac won't play mic sounds through the speakers by default.

Hello, so MB version 1 and 2 will work correct?

Hi all,

I've got a rev 2 G31M-ES2L and a Netgear GA311 PCI card (RTL-8169 based).

I was having problems with internet connectivity, saying the cable was unplugged - messages "AppleRTL8169Ethernet: IOInterruptEventSource error"

I tried the Psystar driver, the driver from the Realtek website, a downloaded AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext but still no joy.

In the end I deleted AppleHPET.kext and AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext from /System/Library/Extensions and everything now works.

Hope this helps somebody.

first try with a hackintosh,
i was able to get through the usb boot and install of snow leopard with a three partition set up, one snowleopard/backup/and chameleon. But on my first reboot the system won't boot from the usb again??? it freezes at the dmi pool.....

any suggestions?

i've tried using a boot132 cd which when loaded into darwin recognizes the snowleopard partition but just goes to a black screen when trying to boot it

Appreciate any advice

Got everything working so far with this guide with one exception.... Ethernet. Is there a kext file for it? Or do I need a seperate NIC card.

I followed the guide, but can't seem to get CI/QE with the onboard video. I assumed that was taken care of in the patched DSDT, since there's no patched GMA3100 kext included.. But alas, that doesn't seem to be the case.
I'm also not getting any network connectivity, another kext that seems to be missing from the original pack. I'm actually wondering if the patched DSDT is even loading, because when I click restart, it doesn't reboot, it just hangs.. A patched DSDT would have fixed that..

I have v2.0 board and the boot 132 method does not work for me. The installer fails. I have swapped memory, set BIOS to enhanced, etc., no luck. Any suggestions?

I have board rev 1.1 will this method work???

First of all, thanks so much for this Tutorial, its been a fantastic help.

I've managed to install Snow Leopard onto my pc, it's using the G31M-ES2L Motherboard, Intel core 2 Duo, 2GB Ram. If any other specs are needed please say?

I've followed the steps for putting files in the Extra folder, but the audio still doesnt work and the resolution isnt right (i need it to be 1366x768). Also the network settings arn't working. It doesnt allow me to chose any other connection methods (eg. Ethernet or Airport) apart from Built-in Serial Port for a dial up connection. Any ideas how to fix that problem?

I've double checked and i've copied LegacyALC883 into the extensions folder correctly. Also, another problem!, i have a Nvidia GT220 graphics card, but i dont think it's being recognised.

Any help regarding these issues would really be appretiated.

Cheers
