I did successfully update on 10.6.7...
the only think which I must use is pmVersion=21 in the boot sequence.. the rest works OK..
The only difference from prior versions is use of VoodooHDA for audio instead of ALC662.kext
as you probably know G31M-ES2 has ALC662 chip and not ALC882 as many people thinks.

I don't know why my Core2Duo proc is not recognized as Duo but Solo (see first picture)..
Anyone has an idea ??

Why do you think that g31m-es2l has ALC662 instead of ALC883 (exactly 883, not 882). I have read the specification from gigabyte at http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=2889#sp . All motherboard revisions have ALC883.

Also have problem with sound. In Win7 it's more clear and loud than in Mac OS X. Can't solve this problem.

Thanks.

Also updated the Mac Os X without problems. The boot flag is pmVersion=21 too.

http://www.filedropper.com/dsdtv2soundlegacy

I used the LegacyALC883.kext and AppleHDA from 10.6.4 since that results in zero driver reported errors. Like I said, no sleepenabler or nullcpupm, and *everything* in both 64-bit and 32-bit modes flawlessly.

Here is what's in my boot.plist:

<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=i386 pmVersion=21 PCIRootUID=1</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>3</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>


Maybe someone has DSDT for rev 2.0 motherboard? I do not understand how to apply ES2Lw/allthe currentfix.dsl fixes.

Hi and thanks for the dsdt. The link only takes you to the filedropper home page. Is there another way to get the dsdt?

Thanks

I've patched my DSDT using DSDT Auto-Patcher (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=235523), Linux MInt live cd, and looks like now DSDT is much better than i had before.

G31M-ES2L is great, just a quick question and sorry for interrupting the discussion. Need your advise should I get rev 1.1 board or rev. 2.4 board. Since I've found in the wiki, the newest rev 2.4 boards also works with 1.6.7 as well.

thanks./

Hey guys. Quick question.

So, today, I turn on my hack and got a Keys Out of Order error. Basically this means, "You get to format and reinstall! ENJOY!"

I thought I was bulletproof so I had limited backups. So I did the fresh install and updated straight to 10.6.7 before fiddling with any kexts or anything. So right now, I have the most up to date OS, but no sound or sleep (never had sleep, actually).

I had sound on my previous installation, but I don't remember how I got there. I don't know I didn't do anything with my DSDT, though. In fact, the only thing I DO remember is using the EP45 Magic Installer from the lifehacker guide. lol.

tl;dr
So, any ideas on what I'll need to do to get sound working in 10.6.7 fresh?

For those having trouble with sound, try this driver.

I've also found, that at least in my case, putting drivers in /Extra/Extensions only works for very low level functions. Things like fakesmc and OpenHaltRestart work fine in there, but things like my audio drivers don't.

Anyways, I've tried several drivers for sound, and this is the only one that works.
