try using this dsdt or copy/compare to yours. (attached):

note that this dsdt includes mm67 shutdown/USB/Aluminum keyboard fix and best partnered w/ RC4/PC EFI restart fix by asere , cparm, duvel or rekursor (take your pick)..also remove restart/shutdown kext like openhalt or evereboot.

all devices are intact here and no speedstep included.

I cant seem to boot with this method?
I have made the usb numerous times as in the guide.
I even tried booting -v -f.
I get the SL My Hack start up & then just as the apple logo comes on for a split second my Computer resets.
I can install with iDeneb dvd Kalayway etc...
I even tried boot 132, rebel efi, empire efi and all keep rebooting my pc.
I noticed when booting with empire efi I got the following message before reboot. acpi table not found: dsdt.aml
I am using a g31m-s2l with a sata hd & sata dvd. 8500gt graohics.

are you using G31M-S2L, or G31M-ES2L cause there is no help for the G31M-S2L here (on this post) only the G31M-ES2L...

im a PC running Snow Leopard

Yes, you need to edit your DSDT, many fixes posted on various forums. Do some googling.

10.6.2 upgrade?

I did the upgrade to 10.6.2, but now I don't have a desktop or screen: all blue. I can boot in safe mode using -x, but not in normal mode. The only thing I did to do the upgrade was to remove the sleepenable kext, reboot, then upgrade: but now no worky. Any ideas?

UPDATE: It works using a DVI (Digital) Video output instead of a regular VGA (Analog) video output... weird? I may do a complete reinstall to make sure I didn't muck it up by accident and cause these problems...

G31m-ES2lL Rev 2 (Everythings work fine, but cannot restart , shutdown)

Hi , i am using G31M-ES2L Rev 2 motherboard to install , i am using IPC PPF5 10.5.6 iso to install, because i always hang at somewhere using retail snow leopard installer.
i am using nullcpupowermanagement , openhaltrestart, sleepenabler , it just do't restart/ shutdown. When i click restart , everythings turn off except the cpu light and fan, it don't restart /shutdown. Anyone have idea on how to fix the shutdown/restart issue for G31M-ES2L Rev 2 board ? Please.......

no this is normal, i had the same problem and it turned out that i had to change DVI ports on my video card, i think its something like it thinks that you have a second monitor and its not turned on. If you press command+shift+q, this will log you out.

"press command+shift+q" to log out of the "second monitor"?
