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.

I couldn't get 10.6.5 to work in 64bit so I did a fresh install of 10.6.0 and updated to 10.6.6 64bit without any problems. I haven't tried putting sleepenabler back in yet, but everything else seems to be working great.

edit:
used 10.6.5 sleepenabler from http://code.google.com/p/xnu-sleep-e...es/detail?id=4

added kernel flag pmVersion=21 to com.apple.Boot.plist

everything works

Keyno, I have two 1.5 TB Samsung Spinpoint Green disks. The only problem I had is recognising a 1.5TB partition in the EFI loaded. I simply split the disk down. The second 1.5TB disk is used for Time Machine, no issues with speed, no issues with install. Just connected a SATA cable and plugged it into a SATA slot. I didn't do any special installs or mods at all, my base OS X is very, very, very standard.

After a bit googling I found this thread: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=564 But I just don't get it to work for me... my config: G31M-ES2L rev. 1.0 E7500 @ 2,93GHz 2x 2GB Kingston ValueRAM 800MHz SSD OCZ Agility 2 40GB - Snow Leopard 10.6.6 on it HDD Samsung Spinpoint F2 500 GB - all data (music, photos...) and Snow 10.6.5 as backup on it At anyway my iTunes needs about 5 seconds to load a song, which is just amazingly slow... XBench just shows exactly that. about 0.5MB/s in read??? So I tried patching my DSDT, I already built it several times with different compilers, but always the same... Could someone please take a look on that or tell me his experience for a second sata drive? Attached there is my DSDT.dsl. Otherwise, thank you very much for your guide, I just got everything working instead of sleep (no enabler works for me in 64bit, but in 32bit the AppleHDA won't work anymore...) and my slow sata drive Thanks in advance and sorry if my english is not the best

Could someone please post their Extras folder for 10.6.6 please? Im sure it would help a lot of the others too since there are very few threads on others sites for this motherboard too.
Thanks

Edit: Updated and everything works except for sleep

Did you manage to get sleep working with that sleepenabler? I cant seem to get it working, I dont get KP's, everything works except for sleep.

yes, sleep works just fine. I can put it to sleep and it also goes to sleep on it's own with the timer. It wakes up with everything working.
In the sys preferences I have everything checked under Energy Saver.

I have a ver.1 board. The only kexts in E/E are fakesmc, legacyalc883, nullcpupowermanagement & sleepenabler.

I could not get my g31m to wake up from sleep. It just reboots when I wake it up. Everything else works fine with 10.6.6. I'm in 32-bit mode.

Here is a list of kexts that I have loaded:

$ kextstat|grep -v "com.apple"

How does it compare to yours?
Thanks

@disco monkey, could you please post your Extras folder since I cant get sleep to work either, it doesnt wake up from sleep. Also, are you in 64 bit?
