That's not really following ALL the steps then.

All I can say is that I have the same hardware as the OP, I followed his directions, and SL works semi-perfectly (no auto-sleep, but remedied by PleaseSleep.app) as he said.

Just get an USB flash drive and proceed. I wish for your success!

But for some reason i have nfi why, i cant connect to anything shared with samba, from windows 7, osx, or solaris. Does anyone have a clue why this would be happening, when i try to connect it just sits there saying connecting and never finishes.

ok so i have worked out that connecting to an smb share works perfectly fine before i install myhack+kexts (first boot after install), does anyone please have any suggestions?

edit: well after alot of screwing around i just went back to your old guide and used the files from there after installing snow leopard with myhack bootloader. works fine now.. :s

edit 2: lol well i got a kernel panic setting it up that way and went back and tried numerous things, its gotta have something to do with myhack and whats in the efi partition, but for now im using nfs to connect to my fileserver

that's what im using right now including my backup leopard partition.. i prefer it because it's hidden and im not tempted to tinker it a lot haha!

im using Pstate created by hnak, cant link it to you right now coz for some reason i cant open insanelymac.. but it's there over at the OSX86 news and release section

been reading the DSDT vanilla speedstep guide for quite sometime now but it seems it's made for the more geeky peeps, made a few try but gave up afterwards

BTW CPUi doesnt work on me (64bit), care to link the kext/app you used? are you using Quad or C2D?

I just got it from the original post of "FormerlyknownAs" here:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=181631

It is the last link of the first post.

I just installed it at /S/L/E repaired permissions, cleared cache. Restarted in 64-bit and ran the CPU-i app and there I can see that my E5200 shifts from 2500Ghz to 1200Ghz. Multiplier increases from x 6.0 to x 12.0 (the normal). Cpu voltage also changes from my stock 1.292 V to 1.052 V. Seems to work fine in my case. I think Mitch_de from IM also said that the CPUi works fine and we were having the same issue because CPU-X (netkas cpu tool) does not detected the voltage/ghz shift.

By the way, what is the difference between speedstep and P-state?

Thanks.

I would greatly appreciate if someone can help me here.

a. Also I have another request, anyone know how I can dual boot windows 7 and SL? Do I need two hard drives?

Thanks!

To get everything working fine, easiest way to install. Only Issue I am having is sound, I can't see the input/output device, any help there please?

Yes I know the lifehacker guide mentions a different motherboard, but it works fine on this one too.

Now, I just need sound working from the board.

my mobo boots from it fine but could that still be a problem?
I also had trouble with the kexts in the com.appleboot.plist, how do i make my strings or EFI strings? i did it with EFI tool, but thats just for my graphics card, is that how i do it?

Even Im having the same problem.. But im not able to figure out the problem......
Why dont anyone from infinitemac help us out with this problem.....
At least tell us where we are going wrong...

Hullo. Thx for really good guide, but I've got one problem, and have no idea how to solve it. I'm using dual boot with SL and win xp, xp is on one partition and SL on other. I have bootloader (myHack 1.0 rc3) installed on separate disc, because if i install bootloader on SL partition it messes up xp bootloader, and windows stops working. So SL work fine, boots up perfectly, but if i choose windows from chameleon, it doesn't start, screen goes black, and on top of it appears white dot. But if i make windows partition active and boot from that hard drive, windows starts normaly. Any ideas why chameleon doesn't load windows? And strange thing, windows partition is set to default on chameleon, is there any way making SL partition as default?

Looking forward hearing from you

ahh the DSDT vanilla speedstep guide, tried that a few times but maybe i need to sit more on it and give it more time and testing for it to work on mine..

CPUi still didnt work on me on 64bit but yes we have the same experience on cpui (32bit on mine), i can see that my CPU is running lower on light load including the voltage on my quad. but for now im happy using PState, it's the same as voodoopower but it can run on 64bit.

Thanks to everyone for this fantastic thread. I am attempting to build my first Hackintosh using the G31M-ES2L (Ver. 2.0) board using this guide.

I am following the steps to the letter, but I cannot get my machine to boot from the USB stick. The stick shows up in the BIOS and I can select it on the boot menu, but after that nothing happens.

I have reformatted my stick and re-restored the SL image, re-run the MyHack installer, basically followed the directions over and over and still nothing works.

If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out...

Sorry for asking this again, but... I cannot get my CPU temp to display with iStatMenus. It only shows the HD temp. Has anyone gotten CPU temp to display using any app?

You can use CPUi it needs it's own kext to be installed, but works fine on a Hack.
