[GUIDE] Retail Snow Leopard DVD install for G31M-ES2L - Page 9

I also had KP's with wake after installing faksmc kext.
I also removed OpenHaltRestart & SleepEnabler to check if there were still needed.
I've then put them both back and only replaced dsmos and all was good again.
I had to use kextutility and reboot everytime so make sure you reboot enough to load the new kext/mkext.

This really sounds like the wrong Sleepenabler is being used m8, make sure it's 64bit version and install again using KextUtility.

Don't install from Leo and def not reinstall BSD.pkg.

Kexts needed: fakesmc/NullCPUPowerManagement/OpenHaltRestart/PlatformUUID & SLeepEnabler.

Don't forget to edit UUID strings before and after install and in the proper files (all 3)

Install from USB like guide says!

Hi.
Got a G31M-ES2L mobo too, but none of this works on my hack as I can't install from a DVD restored partition because I get a KP whether if I boot in 32 or 64 bits. I succeeded to install from within my Leopard install but I can only boot in 64 bit mode, with a Kernel panic right after the video and 32 bit mode hangs when loading "Don't steal Mac OS X.kext".

Please help!

Using PC_Efi_v9/Chameleon1 and adding the PC_EFI_ V10 bootfile solved the KP`s on my maschine..

Dunno why but Chameleon 2 didnt work for my 10.5x either.

This Guide/kexts here works great on my G31M here ( thanks ! ) , so maybe PC_EFI_v9 solve your KP`s too

regards

I followed this guide to update my 10.5.6 to snow leopard.
Good job on the guide, thanks!

Before deciding to follow the guide properly and install from a usb stick I had a few not so successful attempts at installing from a hard drive partition, using iPartition and Disk utility, creating and destroying new partitions and restoring to keep things fresh when I failed.

With the usb stick, it worked fine. I had the PCEfi boot file from this guide on it and the Extra folder had the contents of the guide extra folder and also 3 other ones:

AHCIPortInjector, ATAPortInjector, IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector
I think chameleon put them there.

The first time I forgot to edit the uuid flags in com.apple.boot.plist and PlatformUUID.kext.
While at it I also changed the resolution string in apple.com.boot.plist and upped the timeout value and added the device string for my graphic card.

I installed to my one partition leo disk.

After installing, I used another computer to remove the uuid flag from apple.com.boot.plist on the usb stick.
Booted to the usb stick and chose my hard drive in the chameleon screen, no kernel flags.

Snow Leopard, 64 bit!.

Only small problem I had was when (after having enjoyed snow leopard for a couple of hours) I tried to make my hard drive bootable on its own so as to not have to use the usb stick every time.
Chameleon gave an install error until I installed using the hfs EFI option.

I used EFI Partition Mounter and sudo -s in terminal to copy the boot file from the usb stick to the root of the hard drive and the extra folder from the usb stick to the efi partition. I just realized I never changed the uuid info in Platformuuid.kext….

Sleepenabler.kext worked as well, I put it among the EFI partition kexts.

So thanks, again.

Because of this thread I also know about the .chameleon folder in root, wish I knew that before…. :-)

i have this same mobo, but i do not have 2 internal hd's. i have an external hd i would like to use to do the install, but would like to also install 10.6 on my internal hd that currently is running 10.5.8. how can i install 10.6 over my 10.5.8 install once it is installed to the external hd? is what i'm asking even making sense? thanks in advance...

well, i finally got this installed, but i can not get sound working. to get this to install i used chameleon rc1, installing it on an efi hfs partition. so my extra folders is located on a seperate partition which i can setuop to view via /Volumes/EFI/Extras. I have tried all the kexts here for auio, 32bit, 64 bit, patched my dsdt, tried other kects from here all with no luck. the speaker icon does appear in my menu bar and i can see that the system reports the correct sound card data in my system profile, but i can not get any sound. sounds works fine in 10.5.8, but nothing in 10.6...

i also have that same setup now via hidden EFI, try clearing your cache and create a new extensions.mkext and see if that works..

BTW guide is updated with all new kext and improvements

Thanks to ApexDE from his post here, error like this below after waking from sleep is now fixed!

just add this to your dsdt and look for Device (USBE) ..

@sk1nhd33t:
I have your motherboard (in a blue G3) and have been following this thread closely.
Great work!
I applied the above USB dsdt patch with success.
I did find however that I needed an extra curly bracket at the end of your code snippet for it to compile properly.
