I think your correct on that.... I had totally forgotten about upgrading my bios about 2 months ago (and that's when this pretty much all started with the esata hd). While I was getting ready to upgrade to SL (and I bought a bigger HD for timemachine at the same time), I also flashed to 1005. This whole time I was thinking it was either the HD or SL... But, it just maybe the new microcode for the jmicron bios in the bios update....

I just tried updating bios to the latest version 1305. SL booting still slow while eSATA hdd enclosure is online and no eSATA hdd drive show up, of course. No help with updating bios version :(

About the dsdt sata/usb "builtin/sleep" fix...

Is the restart and shutdown time good with this new fix by SNOC, the old dsdt usb fix, had a really long delay? Do all six internal sata ports work, and does e-sata works and still show as external? Than this would be the final patch...

dsdt sata and usb fix: update

Restart and shutdown times seems to be normal...
I noticed that wake from usb "keyboard/mouse" also works at the moment "10.5.8", no more wrong usb volume eject/unmount when waking from sleep. I also noticed that usb3 in dsdt is not patched at all is this correct? BTW usb3 also doesn't show up in Systemprofiler...

I'm using patched DSDT + AD1988.fix.kext to get the audio on my P5K-E working. So far I have audio, but sometimes its skipping, which is really strange to me. This causes some
"IOHIDSystem::relativePointerEventGated: VBL too high (24135221), capping to 20000000" messages to appear in the kernel log. In the DSDT I have the USB, RTC/HPET fixes too.

Has anyone experienced such problems or is there a know fix?

Restart and shutdown delay can be fix by remove AppleHEPT.kext from S/L/E.

Do i have to choose AHCI for my drives or IDE ?

Since you have a other motherboard, first start comparing the chipsets used. Please make a list of harddisk/sound/ethernet/wifi/firewire etc chipset.

The second thing to do is change bios settings, therefor your windows if you installed may not boot anymore until a good re-install or reset of bios settings. Take the bios settings from my post a couple of pages back, its a attachment.

The third thing todo is install/pathing.

Could you add a link to my or maybe your bios settings on your first page? This is where all the trouble and joy starts, a good bios setup! after that you can go on the the next step of osx86 and start installing and messing around with bootloaders and drivers/patches. Using your guide without good bios settings won't get a rooky started.

restart after sleep
 

ubuntu 9.10 beta amd64:
restart after sleep/wake is finnaly working! So now its only something related the osx86. Anyone any progress :p ???

I have found that restart/shutdown after sleep only works for me in 32 bit.
in 64 bit - I get some kind of noise loop from my audio card and it refuses to shutdown or restart - have to hit the power button - but this only happens after sleep.
Restart and shutdown works perfectly well in 64 - but not after sleeping
