Hi, I am so glad that I found someone using the same motherboard as me. I also have the same problem. I get the build.log when I try to use the patcher.

And bios reset everytime I restart my computer.

CMOS checksum error - Defaults loaded

Karamatks, which guide are you using for your snow leopard, I am still having problems trying to boot my snow leopard, it just gets stuck on the spinning wheel.

You guys could install ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext (rapid share.com/files/309692945/ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext.zip) from Psyshit's RebelEFI disk to prevent CMOS Reset, if you do not want to mess with DSDT editing...

Field Note #4 @kizwan 2010-05-19

This is very easy fix.

./dsdt_fixed.txt   534:                         And (CTRL, 0x0C)
Warning  1105 -                                         ^ Result is not  used, operator has no effect

Open your dsdt.dsl file & go to line #534. Change it to:-
And (CTRL, 0x0C, CTRL)

./dsdt_fixed.txt  4047:                             Name (T0_0, 0x00)
Error    4111 -      Creating a named object in a While loop ^ 

Go to line # 4047, move up Name (T0_0, 0x00) so that it will be at the outside of the While loop code.

And bios reset everytime I restart my computer.

Find Device (RTC) & change the length to 0x02. For example, like this:-

Device (RTC)
{
            Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0B00"))
            Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()
                   {
                                      IO (Decode16,
                                  0x0070,             // Range Minimum
                                      0x0070,             // Range Maximum
                                      0x00,               // Alignment
                                      0x02,               // Length
                    })
}
