I'm having a hard time with this update.
I removed 10.6.4 sleepnabler. Update to 10.6.5.
Reboot and it only lets me boot in 32bit. 64bit results in a blue screen.
Install the audio fix and 10.6.5 sleepenabler and run pfix.
Reboot in 32bit works perfect. 64bit results in a kernel panic.

has anyone else been able to boot 10.6.5 in 64bit?

Good evening,
I am entitled to a kernel panic, I booted into arch = i386 and-x and-v arch = i386, no success for the three combination.

G41-ES2L Install Boot does not recognise my Windows 7 install
 
I have OS X 10.6.4 Installed and fully functional on my G41-ES2L Board using the instructions on :
http://osx86.co/f19/guide-retail-sno...or-g41m-t5351/


I also have Windows 7 Installed on a separate HD on the same box, but when I boot up using OS X as the primary Disk, the Boot loader does not show the Windows Partition when I click any key on bootup..

I can boot to the Windows partition using the Bios and switching to the Windows partition but would like to have the option of Windows showing up in the OS X Boot loader..

Any help is appreciated ?

I managed to run the update with zero issues; run a v2.0 board, 2 x 2gb Corsair ram, 2.8ghz chip, external usb sound card, 8600 gfx

also got the onbard NIC kext that was posted on insanely mac recently so can report 100% works - can't comment on any elses (I guess it depends on your kexts, etc.)

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.

Hey zim2dive,
Long time no see. You helped me with my OC a long time ago. I'm still on the same set up for now. I just lost my overclock and I looked up your old settings. Wondering what you have done to your system lately. I can't upgrade easily since I run a dual monitor setup with dvi-vga and a dvi-hdmi. Updates always seam to break these.

I saw you mention fakesmc a little while ago. Have you had any luck with reading temps? If so could you post your fakesmc your using? Im also looking to push the OC a bit more if possible maybe open up the ram mhz too. What do you think? Ive heard our board is a bit limited on OC ability.

Im looking to update to a core i7 for video editing. I want at least 12g of ram !
Any suggestions any one? Im also looking to keep it under 600 if possible :-)

good to see this thread alive and well, ill read through more of the updates when I get a chance.

Short version on OC.. I had been using my settings from http://osx86.co/f57/guide-retail-sno...post41881.html but now, I can't get CPU Host Clock Control to stay "on".. ie. I go to the settings.. get all set up for 3GHz, save to BIOS, and it reboots and shows the values with the Host Freq back down to 200MHz.. so no dice.

For FakeSMC, I just tried every version I could find... encountering KPs and/or a machine that would not reboot, finally settling on Fake SMC 454 and IntelThermal from http://www.projectosx.com/forum/inde...showtopic=1643... put these in E/E....and now I have temps AND auto-sleep.

Sorry, can't recommend anything i7.. I haven't really paid much attention to what the easiest socket-1156 hackintosh is.. our G31M had to be one of the best for our socket.

EDIT: I added the SuperIO and ACPI plugins from the same page. I can see fan speed, but not clear to me that any contol is happening yet.
EDIT2: I lost audio somewhere in the above (had it initially after 10.6.5 upgrade). F-it... rather than fight it, I had a $2 USB audio stick laying around.. I plugged that in and will use that instead.

I got my OC back... I reset the CMOS (jumper) (taking pics of all my settings 1st) and replaced the CMOS battery (even tho it showed a proper voltage).

Currently running with
CPU 11.5x (2.875 GHz)
CPU Host clock enabled
CPU Host freq 250
PCI freq 100
SPD 2.66
Sys Volt Auto

If I understand what I'm doing (and that's not a given) this puts memory at its default freq, but changes the base freq so there is more upside for the CPU multiplier. In theory it could go up to 3.125 GHz (with 12.5X). I'll run with 2.875 for now and verify that it sticks for a while.

New build and 10.6.5 upgrade success
 
I've just completed my first install and upgrade on some old HW I have for a HTPC. On-board sound (both "internal speakers" and optical digital audio), on-board network, and sleep (both manual and automatic with wake from sleep) all work. Only thing I couldn't get is 64-bit.

1) Installed by followed all instructions in post #1.
2) Remove SleepEnabler.kext from E/E.
3) Followed steps 1-8 here: http://www.dailyblogged.com/updating...eopard-10-6-5/ (from post #688; thanks lokigfx), except I had to use a different version of Apple HDA.kext (http://www.mediafire.com/?khmky1qwzzz; from port #654; thanks sublimespot). FYI - AppleHDA.kext goes in S/L/E, not E/E. (Yes, I'm a noob.)
4) Installed the 10.6.5 SleepEnabler.kext (I can't find the link right now but it is easy to find).

Lots of repairing permissions, pfix, reboots, etc. are implied. I did run into some trouble with network and sleep working but that went away after a bunch of reboots.

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting 64-bit working again? It broke before I applied the 10.6.5 SleepEnabler.

My setup:
G31M-ES2L (I think rev. 2) w/ digital audio
E7400 2.80
G.Skill 2x2GB DDR2 PC2-6400
Gigabyte GeForce 7200GS 256MB
BTW211 Bluetooth adapter
Twisted Mellon IR receiver

Thanks to everyone who has come before and made this possible.

Hmm, does someone of you have a second sata hdd?
Well, I have one and it is very very slow, someone knows why?
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???
http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/7...4355907336.png

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 ;)
