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.

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

Solved!

It freezes because of 2600XT, after booting on onboard x3100 graphics all works fine..

ATI card works after deleting two kext files related to this graphics card.

Now it works without GE/CL support at 1400x1050 resolution on only one DVI.

So tomorrow I will get 9600GT card to get full graphics support! Cheap and with CUDA!

Thanks for help and guide! It is great!

Hi,
I have 10.6.2 installed with the ES2L motherboard ver1

1. In 10.6.1 the screen saver would work but now it will goto sleep but never wakeup. Is there a fix for this?

2. I could not find a post for bios setting for this board. Is there a link someone could post

Thanks inadvance.

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...

Hey there just a update on my Current System i have a Working Snow Leopard 10.6.2 system. No problems well maybe one, when i boot i get a blue screen, one person said it may be my permissons? anyway thanks for the guide, and if i can ill help out.

UPDATE: just notice i had no sound and had to reapply my dsdt.aml file, and run permission's. also Changed DVI ports on my video card and i dont get the blue screen @ login. So everything thing is working perfect!

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.

im a PC running Snow Leopard

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!

GA-G31M-ES2L rev2 Bios FF - Intel Core2Duo 2.6Ghz - Gigabyte GF8400GS - 2x2GB Aeon DDR2 800 RAM - 320GB Samsung SATA HDD - Pioneer DVD-R PATA

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

It's my first post but I've been keeping an eye on this thread and I just wanted to say thanks for all your help guys!

My intention was to create a (student) budget OS X system with the ability to play 1080p movies via HDMI using Plex, and I have succeeded!

My specification are as follows:

GA-G31M-ES2L Rev 2.0
E5300 2.6 GHz Dual Core Processor
2GB RAM
Asus nVidia GeForce 9400 GT 512MB
Belkin Network Card (I bought two of these new, plus a network switch new online for £1)

In total, including the case, I paid just under £150 for this setup and that includes a 250GB SATA HDD. I am using external USB HDD's to hold my media

I followed this guide however I did not need to create an DSDT file to get anything to work. It was simply a case of installing myHack 1.0 with the recommended kexts.

In order to get the graphics card fully supported that was simply a case of adding an EFI string with osx86Tools. As for the sound, a VoodooHDA kext got that working for me, without even the need to reinstall!

So once again, just wanted to thank all you guys who have put in the hard work to enable me to do this so easily!

See you around on here soon!

UPDATE: I've just updated to 10.6.2 using the inbuilt software update, installed iWork, iLife and Office for Mac and it's running like a dream still! Thanks once again
