I just finished building a machine based off the G31M-ES2L and have since discovered that it's a rev. 2, which as many of you know uses a different incompatible brand for the ethernet port. What are the chances this is eventually going to be fixed via software? Initially I had planned to use wireless anyway, but the Rosewill RNX-EasyN1 WI-FI dongle that was recommended to me is painfully slow (perhaps it only has a short range). Could someone recommend another solution that works well ( In both windows 7 and OSx), preferably a USB dongle of some sort, as the space for a PCI card is extremely limited.

its amazyng cheap and works perfect for desktop

For some reason the EFI partition never mounts after I run your script. I get this error: _CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35

I've tried following this guide and this guide as well, but for reasons I assume relate to my Rev. 2 I cannot get my MAC address. If I got into network settings there isn't an ethernet card listed.

Right now i'm booting into SL via chameleon on a usb thumb drive. Has anyone had any luck with this

I'm in the same situation, and when I enter in "1" for my EFI partition it asks for a password, I never set a password when creating the account at login.

I have a Rev 1 board.

Any help.

Thanks

But in my scenario - I can connect to the internet, any help with my situation, when i enter in '1' it asks for a password, whats the password.

I solved that part that I posted two posts above, by creating a password and mounting the EFI, that resolved that Issue. I was able to boot without the CD. Now, just need to work on the audio and graphics driver tomorrow.

Is it fine to update to 10.5.8? Or should I avoid it for now. Thanks

I seem to have everything working fine with this guide except the graphics driver.

I have a geoforce nvidia 7900gs (256mb) card.

i selected it on OsX86 tools and tried to apply it, by even putting in my custom resolution 1680 X 1050, but it still only shows me under display the 1024 X 764 i think it is.

how do I resolve this? Thanks

I installed leopard 10.5.6 yesterday and with the kext attached in the first post system show audio card but it doesn't works. Today i will try to update at 10.5.8, i hope to solve this problem. Someone had this problem?

With my graphic card (xfx nvidia 8600 gts xxx) i'm able to change resolution, but when i change system freeze and i need to reboot manually with power button and when system reboots the new resolution is shown correctly.

My ram are 1066Mhz but system say that are 800mhz, it is a problem?

Did you use the method descripted in the first post to install the graphic card? I think that if the only resolution available is 1024x768 the gpu is not detected correctly.

get the audio kext from this guide

those worked for me.

I'm still trying to get my card to work right.

I've update system at 10.5.8 and it works well! Thanks very much

Now i would like to understand with system show me that my ram is 800mhz instead 1066...
