Hi
![]() First thanks for this guide, almost everything works fine for me, except that i have a kernel panic each time i try to boot with -x32 flag, but i think it is not a problem if everything is fine in 64 bits mode, is it ? There is something else, SL is installed on a USB hard drive, i have a sata too with win7 partition in first and a hfs partition which i want be used as chameleon boot partition, please, somebody can help me to do that. (actually i choose usb hd in boot menu to launch a chameleon rc2 which seem working fine actually) thanks for all and i hope my english is good |

Hi,
I'll just be a little bit off topic here but your answers are going to be important. I hope it is ok. Do you experience VERY SLOW boot from USB in G31m-ES2L rev 1.x? I boot from Snow Leopard USB installer and it takes 12 minutes to see the 1st installer screen. Using the same external hard drive, it boots into my laptop in only 2 minutes. Booting from DVD is way faster than booting from USB. This is my second motherboard. I had it replaced thinking that the slow boot is caused by a faulty mobo. Now that I got a new, sealed mobo, it has the exact same problem. My older Gigabyte P35-DS3L mobo does not have this problem. I'm on F9i bios. Tried other non beta bios and it is still slow. Btw, thanks for this guide. It is really awesome. I'm enjoying Snow Leopard now! Last edited by MonkeyDLuffy; 09-16-2009 at 09:43 PM. |

Where are you plugging in the usb stick? If it's through an Apple keyboard for instance, it will only read at USB 1.0 speeds. My board is using the original bios shipped with it (F7). Also dsdt is bios and mobo specific - you may find the dsdt in this guide is for a different bios version. Imho you should always make your own DSDT than use someone elses.

Yeah, it is really weird. Hmmm, I'm just plugging it at the back USB ports. I tried switching ports and I they are the same. I just discovered something new (just now), when I disable USB 2.0 in BIOS, the slow boot speeds are identical with it Enabled. I disabled USB 2.0 in my other gigabyte motherboard (not G31m-eS2L) and now it is identical with the slow boot speed as my G31m-ES2L Enabled. I'm guessing that USB 2.0 is not working properly in the boot process.
However, If I'm inside the OSX (installed in the USB), its super fast. It's just the boot process. BTW, thanks for confirming that you're not having this problem. I have to talk to Gigabyte regarding this issue. EDIT: Oh I forgot to mention that it is not DSDT related. I also have an external Windows 7 and XP USB installers. They all boot slow compared to a cd or dvd. Last edited by MonkeyDLuffy; 09-17-2009 at 05:39 PM. |

Anyone else getting random kernel panics.
It would say that the app has caused the kernel panic (usually happens after half an hour of use or so) e.g pages, adium, mail etc etc. It only happens when booted with -x32 (i would use -x64 but then I have no sound) Can anyone shed some light on this situation?

Can anyone help me?
I have this little issue. On the boot.plist file on my USB I have the -x32 flag set and when I boot into OS X via the USB it works fine. But with the charmeleon installed on my HDD it always boots into the 64 bit kernal. I have tried editing the boot.plist file on my HDD and using the -x32 flag before booting into OS X and neither work. Anyone know why this is happening?

to boot in 32bit kernel
Chameleon = arch=i386 PC EFI = -x32 new PC EFI v10.3 = -x32 or arch=i386, both of them work ![]() |
