This is my situation exactly. I have everything working, except for audio. None of the kexts seem to work, no matter where I place them. I have tried everything and have a G31M-ES2l Rev 1.1 (F8 bios) board.

I migrated my Leopard account, so maybe that caused an issue. I think I may just have to totally wipe the drive and completely start from scratch.

If someone would be so kind as to create a new zip with the currently recommended solution, I would greatly appreciate it as well.

I recommend the dr. hurt bootloader linked some where in this topic.
I couldn't get my usb to boot with the standard RC1/2/3 or EFI boot files either.
So just restore your SL iso to the USB drive, install the dr. hurts bootloader and put the extensions(USB) folder and others in the extra folder.

I've followed your guide, installed from USB successfully, booted into fresh SL partition (-v x32), installed Chameleon RC2 package for EFI HFS, copied boot to root, copied Extras to root with com.apple.boot.plist with EFI String for 8600GT 256MB from OSX86 Tools, renamed extensions.

When I then try to boot into the drive with -v x32, it kernel panics. I don't understand, this has happened twice on me after another fresh install and then isntalling chameleon.

any help/suggestions?

G31M-ES2L rev2.0
4gb DDR2800
C2D E8400
eVGA 8600gt 256mb

you dont need PleaseSleep because manual and automatic sleep is working for you.. lucky you

care to share the rest of your specs?

recreate an Extensions.mkext and boot in 32bit, looking at your pic it's booting in 64bit. to boot in 32bit use "-x32" for PC-efi or "arch=i386" for RC2/3

i have successfully installed 10.5.6 on my G31M-ES2L, can someone tell me if the BIOS settings for 10.5.6 and 10.6 be the same? or someone please post the BIOS settings for 10.6

Yep, PleaseSleep is not running (I do have it installed however) and the normal sleep functions for me. Though sometimes it wakes up by itself. It seems that it may be tied to some program running. It's strange sometimes it'll sleep fine, and sometimes it won't auto sleep and wakes up (in a minute or so) if manual slept. That is why I installed PleaseSleep to see if it would fix this issue, which it did not.

My specs:
GA-G31M-ES2L Rev 1.1
Intel Pentium E5200
Asus 9600 GSO Video Card
Optiarc DVD RW AD-7240S
Asus WL-138G V2 PCI Wireless card
1 TB Hitachi HDT721010SLA360 HD

Question: 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?

Ah, glad to know I'm not alone. But I didn't migrate Leopard. I did a total clean SL install, following a few different guides and trying many different kexts. I'm about to try this guide (the one at the top of this thread) again.

google iAnderw's menubar icons (should be in devianart) to download the icons there coz my hack is currently stuck on the 3rd floor of our house.. my country (Philippines) was recently hit by typhoon ondoy and some areas (including ours) are still are flooded. Internet is still not restored in my area so im typing this on my MBP on 3G. Thank god though it's just the flood and my family, me and my gadgets are safe

EFI strings can be obtain by using an app called OSX86tools or EFIStudio. fro the graphics mode, it's the max resolution of your monitor. You can also try skipping efi strings and use " GraphicsEnabler=Yes" on your boot.plist (RC3 or PCEFI10.3 required)

maybe sometime but i dont see the point because all of the new files are either linked or can easily be found like netkas fakesmc V2 n 10.3.

for audio, voodooHDA in S/L/E works flawlessly except after waking from sleep but the quoted kext above wont work alone without an HDEF patch in your DSDT (thanks to coconup). clear your cache after replacing the kext and create and mkext.

also be sure to check System Preference then go to Sound and choose Internal Speakers/Built-In Speaker for both Sound Effects and Output Tab.

here's how the setup goes, any of the 3 combination will do:

- LegacyAppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver + LegacyHDAPlatformDriver + HDEF = audio
- LegacyALC883.kext + HDEF = audio
- VoodooHDA (S/L/E) + untouch dsdt = audio

if all fails then i dont know what to suggest anymore

check above, you must be doing something wrong coz i have the same F8 bios.

Just let you know that the first method also worked for my Jetway xblue P43 mobo with alc883.
I've tried voodoohda 64bit in s/l/e too but, mic input almost always never worked properly. Using appleHDA just feels more satisfying and produces a bit clearer sound, imho

Great stuff, thanks!!

you can also check this automated installer created by Conti, this will install RC3 + PC EFI 10.3 including the kext needed except for our alc883 audio, for permission and creating Extensions.mkext check this too (again created by Conti), it's an automated and manual command to fix and create your mkext, just edit it before running since conti uses CustomExtension on his script or rename your extensions folder.
