Do you have everything checked under energy settings deansterdean?? I know I have a rev. 2 board, but I was having the same problems until I did this...

also i tried to install with and without onboard audio and external usb...

same problem exists:

System not responding after initializing ethernet.

Should I add other kext files?

I have no idea how to solve problem...

if you have rev 2 board you need another NIC, and also turn off the onboard NIC in the bios. I dont think you can install on that nic and that it will not work with snow leopard or leopard. If you can find the Rev 1.* board and you will be alot happer, you should have no issues with the onboard sound, just follow the steps. I think this HowTo was made for REV1.* boards and not Rev 2.* boards.

Hey Folks!

thanks and regards for this excellent guide!
My first "Hackmac" is a P45 System with the EFI-X Module, but after finding out, that the guys from EFI-X are just "closing" open source and trying to rip me of, i like to switch to the "pros" and install an chamleon Mac.

As i need more than one mac in my family, i bought components from the several HCL lists (see signature) and tried first time yesterday. The systems works great with a live linux system booted from DVD, but when starting from the preparated USB-HDD or an Empire-EFI-DVD, it only results after a few seconds in a "Memory Allocation Error 0x0 deadbeef".

I tried different memory moduls and even another graphics board with no success. Has anyone any suggestions??

regards

i dont know too much, but what about the PATA drive you are using? maybe thats the problem, i have read somewhere that say you should a SATA one. but i and unsure about this. here are some google on the error msg

so it could be video card? or bios settings...

Hey,

thanks for the tipps. unfortunately it didnt work. i stripped down the entire system (no HDD, no DVD, no GRA), tried every possible BIOS setting and even changed the memory modules. Nothing. Everytime when i try to boot i get this crappy error after a few seconds.
Please: Any other ideas?

regards!!!

this is how i did my system, install leopard with iatkos v7 / made USB Flash drive snow leopard / installed snow leopard as this guide tells you too. Maybe you should try a USB Flash drive? por just download iatkos v7 and install that. see what happens and then go from there. sorry im not sure on anything else.

Hey!

thanks for the great tips. Finally i got into a working bootloader with the brandnu Chameleon Release which i installed on a small USB-Stick .. just for testing purposes, but IT WORKS.
Unfortunatly Chameleon dont recognize my EIDE DVD ROM drive with the SL DVD, so i cant get it installed yet .. but i will try build a bigger USB with the installer directly on it ;-)
I keep you informed. Chameleon rockz ;-)
Need a beer now *fump* aaaah!

to start of, it's really a complex process but reading them over and over and asking question will help. Do note that i have speedstep working, wake from aluminum keyboard, shutdown and restart w/o Openhalt kext (or the likes)..

lot's of people help me including xopher, mm67, AudiSport, MC and many more

Good Luck and Merry X-Mass (2 more hours from where i'm from).

Is this with ga-m31-es2l ? If so could I have a look at your dsdt trying to write one for ga-m31-s2l with all fixes and having a few problems with sleep

Does anybody have KP with sleepenabler in 64bit mode? It works fine in 32bit.
