I skipped all audio content
 

Sorry I can't be of any help as I use a Bose Companion 5 USB speaker set and so have audio disabled in my BIOS and skip all those portions of the directions. Best of luck in your search to get it working.

CMOS - Corrupt
 

What is the easiest way to fix the CMOS Reset error I get every time my computer restarts? I am using the DSDT downloaded in the ES2L Kit. Everything else works like a charm on my G31m-es2l. I've tried the cmos corrupt fix in the es2l folder. How did everyone else fix theirs?

G31m-es2l Rev 2.0
9600GT 512
Snow Leopard 6.1

verifying DMI pool data
 

I followed the guide (thanks for all your work on this!) and was installing SL when the machine rebooted, and now all I get is "verifying DMI pool data." i've re-formatted my thumb drive, did the entire process over, and still, "verifying DMI pool data." I have v2 of the board, and am trying to use onboard graphics. Is that my issue?

try this......
 

Search es2l on these boards.....guide under Voyn1x at the end shows Alc883.zip

I did use Kext Helper 0.7 to install both.............got from weaksauce leopard soup es2l guide and folder.

Help with Audio no Work
 

Audio no work in 32bit or 64bit

please some help

ACL883:(

No Sound
 

Ditto here on sound.
Nothing doing.
V2 using firmware from Gigabyte FF, FE did not work either.
Tried Voodo, Taruga 64

Sound stuff is scattered all over the net but nothing concrete. Thanks for this thread it is lengthy but you gain some knowledge from it.

Thanks to this thread and all the great contributions I have my ES2L R2.0 FC BIOS, E6300 OC'ed to 3.4GHz, 4GB RAM, 9500GT 512MB, PCI TrendNet Ethernet (due to no driver for the R2.0 onboard Ethernet), and PCI Firewire all working great! Everything I have tried so far, including audio and sleep works. I haven't tried automatic sleep but manual works fine and I never used automatic sleep in the past.

I used Conti's myHack 1.0 RC4 to install. Then I extracted my DSDT and compiled and found some errors. I fixed those using the DSDTSE Fixes Menu and then changed the RTC section as sk1nhd33t instructed and added the Method DTGP. For audio I used only the LegacyALC883.kext provided in the ES2L Kit sk1nhd33t linked in the first post of this thread and then modified my DSDT to remove the "Sound AZALIA" section and replace it with coconup's DSDT HDEF code. I also added the DSDT USB sleep fix and System Profiler now shows all my USB 2.0 Buses as Built-in.

For those that may be interested I have attached my dsdt.dst.

Thanks to all those who have contributed.

This guide has been a life saver, I bought Snow Leopard thinking I could just install like Leopard and everything would work. This guide actually makes the install EASIER than Leopard. Thanks much for your work on this.

Well, I was able to get everything but the sound to work so instead of trying this that and the other thing, I just bought Creative's Xmod USB sound adapter for around $20 bucks on Amazon and now I have sound!

Great to hear your install is a success. I still can only boot with the 'installation usb drive' inserted and 'boot 1st' option ' in my bios. After that I'm able to eject and all seems well with operating system,,,,,,,,sound, sleep,cmos reset fixed,etc. Any idea how to correct this? Also the overclocking would be nice to try. Same processor. Any settings advice would be appreciated.Thanks

That sounds to me like the bootloader isn't installed on your HD. Did you rerun myHack and target your boot SL hard drive?

For the overclock all I did was set the cpu multiplier to 10.5 and the front side bus to 325MHz. I had the front side bus at 333MHz but after the machine would sleep it would be awake for about 10 mins and would then kernel panic. Backing off the front side bus to 325MHz seems to have fixed that.
