GA-Z68XP-UD3: Lion 10.7.3, Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP1 and FreeBSD 9-RELEASE, Core i5 2500K @ 3.3GHz, 16GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 ram(Soon), 1GB GDDR5 Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti, 2X 1TB Samsung F3 SATA HDDs, 1X WDC Blue 500GB HDD; Dell Mini 10v: Obsidian Black, 2GB DDR2 533MHz Ram, 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270, 120GB HDD, 6-Cell, Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Build 10K549

I have updated from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4 rev 1.1 mobo.

Remove sleepenabler, updated to 10.6.4, then installed sleepenabler from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=196466. Works great!

Sounds works fine, use AppleHDA(don't know what version, may be 10.6.2) on 10.6.3 and it works after update with no problems.

Hi,

I need to add a PCI-Express Firewire card to my G31 Motherboard. I currently have an Asus 9400GT graphics card which spans over my PCI slots only leaving me with one spare one. I use the one spare PCI slot for an Ethernet card.

I have a couple of Firewire devices, i.e. a Video camera and a Eldirol sound system and would like to keep them hence the need for a PCI-E card.

Searching around shows some cards that *may* work, but it's not clear if they work with Snow Leopard on this particular motherboard. I'll take a punt on a £20 card but not on a £35 pound card (x 1.5 for dollars).

Cards that have some success include the

Belkin F5505 http://uk.shopping.com/xPO-Belkin-BE...PRESS-CARD-NIC

and the Sonnet
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonne...ology/FW400AE/

and the Dynex DX-PCI2PF

None are that cheap and I will not get my money back if they don't work.

So can anybody confirm that any of these cards will work in a PCI-E slot?

Thanks,

Rob

Dmitry,

I have never managed to get Sleepenabler to recover from going to sleep, everything else works really well, but this is the one function that eludes me. I have downloaded multiple sleepenablers, played with the BIOS settings, added and removed PleaseSleep and other software without it ever working. I can sometimes get it to suspend, but have never got it to come back to life.

Can you go through what configuration settings you have that makes your sleepenabler config work? The sort of things I was thinking about are:

1. What are the BIOS settings? i.e. S1 or S3 in the sleep settings in the BIOS.
2. How do you activate wakeup, mouse or keyboard press?
3. Do you have a USB or a PS/2 keyboard? I have heard people say that you need a PS/2 device rather than a USB device.
4. Do you have any extension cards which may make a difference, e.g. FireWire cards can be problematic I'm told?

I now have a duplicate G31M system to test these things out. It will become a Mythbox server eventually but it's fine for testing out these things without trashing my main desktop.

Thanks,

Rob.

Rats, an excellent idea, why didn't I think of it ? I'm wholly unclear about PCI Express as it's yet another new format to find out about.

However I have now ordered a PCI-E Firewire card but I think I'll order one of these as well, they're cheap so it shouldn't be an issue.

I'll try them both out and report back. I now have a spare G31 MB and system so can play more without blowing up my main hackintosh.

Thanks for taking the time to answer,

Rob

I have audio, but next time I lose it, I may just use this USB audio adapter instead: http://www.meritline.com/usb-2-0-to-...--p-27760.aspx .. $3 from meritline.

My issue now is that my hack no longer goes to sleep automatically. It will go to sleep fine if I tell it to, but if I forget it will stay on forever. This was working for me with 10.6.2 (maybe 10.6.3, but I'm not sure). I have the latest SleepEnabler. Was not using any special scripts when it was working, it just did (once I removed the DVD player)

GA-G31M-ES2L.v1, E6300 @ 2.8GHz, nvidia GT240 (or 9500GT), 10.6.6, fakeSMC rev454

I installed Chameleon and General Extensions using Netbook Installer in order to upgrade to 10.6.4 (I dont know why I thought 10.6.4 might be a problem).

Now I get a crash while booting. I did not backup my /Extra folder.
Could someone please put up a zipped copy of their Extra folder ? I have the ES2L with the AtherosL1C ethernet.

My system crashed on the HPET error if thats important.

How do i do this with out another mac. I have an iso with kexts/hacks but, it just asks me to reboot after install cause there is something wrong. My question is how do i do this with out a Mac. and will be able to get updates from Mac. Do you have to inter a key after/during install like windows?

I might mention i plan installing on the gigabyte G31M-ES2L on quad boot with XP, 7, and Ubuntu 9.10.
oh there is a kext out for the network on later revisions of the G31M-ES2L mine being one.

Hey guys, thanks for making this guide. I need a little help though. I am using a G31M-ES2L trying to install from a retail copy of SL 10.6.3 that is mounted on a USB-HDD. I am using an E3300 which the BIOS reads as 1.8Ghz for some reason, not 2.5Ghz. In any case, my issue is that I am getting stuck at the "Preparing Installation" screen. The bar just keeps moving. I can access Utilities and such, but I can't chose a destination to install. Also the options I had during the myHack bit (under customize) were different than the options presented on the first page, I checked everything that was listed that I could. Please assist. Thanks!

you may need to manually set the clock multipliers in BIOS.
