has anyone tried this version of FakeSMC?

maybe we'd finally have better temperature reporting.

And has anyone ever gotten the fans to do anything but run at max?

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

I decided to do a complete reinstall of SL and update to 10.6.4. I have had my system running 10.6.1 vanilla perfectly (except auto sleep) in 64 bit following the OP's directions.

This time I used MultiBeast to install SL. I left the <string> for "Kernel Flags" blank in my Boot.plist (as I did before) to boot in 64-bit, but after the Apple logo screen with the circling chasing bars, I never get to the desktop, but instead, I freeze on a blank blue screen. But when I put in "-x32" on the Chameleon screen, I am able to boot into the desktop.

When I type in "ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi" in Terminal, I get ""firmware-abi" = <"EFI64">." So I should be able to boot in 64-bit mode.

How come a system that ran in 64-bit mode under 10.6.1, will not run in 64-bit mode under 10.6.4? I tried using the same boot file, smbios.plist, boot.plist, fakesmc, and much more to get it to work under 64-bit mode.

Gigabyte G31M-ES2L rev. 2.0
Intel E6300 2.8MHz
1GB OCZ DDR2 800MHz
Asus WL-138G v2 (WiFi)
WD 250GB SATA II
Gigabyte 7600GS 256MB

For those who are looking for a replacement for G31M-ES2L....

One morning my motherboard was dead, fans spinning but black screen, no bios, nothing.
After trying a bunch of stuff I decided to get a new board.
I got the GA-G41M-ES2L ver. 1.1
It booted with my hard drive I had set up for the g31m (10.6.4).

Only thing missing was sound. I fixed that by running AzaliaAudio.pkg from this thread at insanelymac:

Retail Snow Leopard DVD install for G41M-ES2L

The board look very similar, although my g31 board had nicer, golden heatsinks :-)

any1 know if this Asus ENGT220 videocard works in our configs?
here to buy
thx

I've got Snow Leopard 10.6.4 completely working on the Gigabyte G31M-ES2L (have rev 1 and 2 boards).

If anyone is having Sleep problems, make sure you have the latest SleepEnabler.kext in your Extra/Extensions folder, and it seems that a 'compatible' graphics card (i.e. NVidia or ATI) may be the key to getting sleep to work. I tried to get sleep working on an ASRock mobo, as well as both Gigabyte mobos (Snow Leopard) using the onboard graphics and they would never sleep (same may be true for incompatible graphics cards).

I put a PNY NVidia GeForce 9400 GT into the rev 1 and sleep worked. I put a PNY NVidia GeForce 8400 GS into the rev 2 and sleep worked. I also tried the 9400 in the ASRock mobo - and sleep worked. I'm using the EFI String (via OSX86Tools) for the appropriate graphics card in the system's com.apple.Boot.plist (Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration). I tried the NVEnabler kext before using the EFI String and initially it worked, but then broke after updating the SleepEnable.kext, so for me, the EFI String option has worked best for sleep and graphics. I've been using that method on my rev 1 mobo all year and never had a single problem - and sleep has always worked 100% (with updated SleepEnabler.kexts).

For audio problems, try AppleAzaliaAudio.kext (goes into System/Library/Extensions via 'Kext Helper b7'). I've tried other audio kexts but had problems with them (i.e. audio distortion after sleep), so AAA kext has worked brilliantly for me on 4 different mobos (both Leopard and Snow Leopard) over the last 18 months.

Hi!

Did anyone update to 10.6.5??? No problems?

Thanks

I've performed an update to 10.6.5 and all works apart from sound.

I tried couple of things, such as:

http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/

Unfortunately no luck with sound.
If anyone has worked out the sound for the 10.6.5, any help would be appreciated

Update for me went smoothly.. removed Sleepenabler, ran ket util, downloaded the 10.6.5 update + audio + new sleep enabler as per the 1st link.. ran the update, rebooted, installed sleep enabler + audio, ran kext util, rebooted again.

I noticed that my CPU clock multiplier had again been reset.. I have a 2.5GHz E5200 that I was running on a mild overclock, but the mult value was reset to 2.3GHz.. not sure why that happens?

Also not going to sleep.. the display will sleep, but the machine will not auto-sleep. I don't have an internal DVD (external USB, usually powered off). It will sleep just fine if I put it to sleep thru the menu. I don't think auto-sleep has worked for me since 10.6.2, or roughly thereabouts. Even thru the menu it takes ~20 seconds to sleep after I tell it to.

anyone try out 10.6.6?

Yep, works like a charm, no changes needed for anything, everything worked perfectly for me.
Only my post before is still a problem, I'll try some kext's now.
