Do you experience VERY SLOW boot from USB in G31m-ES2L rev 1.x?
I boot from Snow Leopard USB installer and it takes 12 minutes to see the 1st installer screen. Using the same external hard drive, it boots into my laptop in only 2 minutes.
Booting from DVD is way faster than booting from USB.
This is my second motherboard. I had it replaced thinking that the slow boot is caused by a faulty mobo. Now that I got a new, sealed mobo, it has the exact same problem. My older Gigabyte P35-DS3L mobo does not have this problem.
I'm on F9i bios. Tried other non beta bios and it is still slow.
Btw, thanks for this guide. It is really awesome.
I'm enjoying Snow Leopard now!

Odd, I've got a rev 1.x board and mine boots the usb stick installer within a couple of mins - much quicker than a DVD.
Where are you plugging in the usb stick? If it's through an Apple keyboard for instance, it will only read at USB 1.0 speeds. My board is using the original bios shipped with it (F7).
Also dsdt is bios and mobo specific - you may find the dsdt in this guide is for a different bios version. Imho you should always make your own DSDT than use someone elses.
