thanks guys for the thread. Everything went fine and I now have a working SL. The only problem for now is sleep/restart/shutdown. I have dsdt.aml made with the patcher but it's not helping(although it helped to get rid of the "CMOS checksum error" during post, which kept reseting the BIOS settings).
@perisman - i see you have the same board as me. Did you get sleep/reset/shutdown working?
