Gigabyte EP35-DS3 Installer Package
This is an installer package i recently created mainly to automate my OSX installation. Instead of manual copying kexts and files and using bash scripts to automate the process a little bit I've put all thats needed into installer package. I added a couple of additional options so i can share it with the community, users with EP35-DS3 board. Owners of similar gigabyte boards (from the same serie) may still use it to install necessary kexts. As the installer is mainly based on DSDT they still can't use my dsdt.aml although i noticed that many boards have identical dsdt. This package is distributed 'AS-IS' so use it on your own responsibility.
Entire content is free to use. Drivers created by third party developers, some are just fake plists (credits given to them). I hope that this installer can help you run perfect vanilla OSX. None of the provided files could be overwritten by software/system updates. DSDT contains fixes so AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement won't cause kernel panic when loaded. I suggest removing it (can increase cpu temperature a bit) as VoodooPower is included (which works great, speedstep and everything). If you intend to use this package please remove all the other installed drivers, mainly all the injectors as we won't be needing them. Also remove efi strings, not needed. I included com.apple.Boot.plist to increase boot delay time and mainly to set model name. *** What is not included is AppleHDA due to legal reasons. This file require modifications and that is the only file that could be overwritten by software update. You will have to backup this file and reinstall after software/system updates. Not much, hehe;-) To make your sound working use linux codec dump and Taruga patcher to patch AppleHDA. Nothing else needed and DSDT will do the rest, audio strings already added.

Chances are that the same DSDT will work for Snow Leopard, but you need to apply the CMOS reset fix to the DSDT for it to work properly in SL.

Hi guys,
I will need to make a new package for SL, but until then here is a new dsdt (with reset fix, uhci/ehci fix added also). One is for use with nvidia 8500/8600GT with 256mb of ddr ram; if you have such a card you can use this dsdt freely otherwise you will have to decompile it and slightly modify. If you use efi string here is also a dsdt without gfx part. Also included ALC889a (just a fake plist), put in your Extra/Extensions folder. Regards.

Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your last post! I have a EP35-DS3R board and I have almost killed myself getting it to work with SL and your dsdt did the trick. I now have working ethernet, audio, USB ports and I no longer have to use NullCPUPowerManagement.kext!
You are my hero. As a way to show gratitude, here is a AHCIPortInjector.kext I modified to allow for native sata support. With this you no longer need IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext. Thank to you my SL is more vanilla than a coffee creamer!

Hello!
I have a GA-EP35-DS3P. I've tried to boot to install Snow Leopard from a USB stick with your kexts and DSDT.aml but after select USB BOOT on Chamaleon menu, the kexts start to be loaded from USB and during the boot (pre-install) I get an error (I think is KP) like can you see in image below. And the CMOS is reseted.  Do you know what can I do to solve that? Thank you very much! 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean. Free credits ($100) for InfMac readers.
