Gigabyte EP35-DS3 Installer Package
 
This is an installer package i recently created mainly to automate my OSX installation. Instead of manual copying kexts and files and using bash scripts to automate the process a little bit I've put all thats needed into installer package. I added a couple of additional options so i can share it with the community, users with EP35-DS3 board. Owners of similar gigabyte boards (from the same serie) may still use it to install necessary kexts. As the installer is mainly based on DSDT they still can't use my dsdt.aml although i noticed that many boards have identical dsdt. This package is distributed 'AS-IS' so use it on your own responsibility.

Entire content is free to use. Drivers created by third party developers, some are just fake plists (credits given to them). I hope that this installer can help you run perfect vanilla OSX. None of the provided files could be overwritten by software/system updates. DSDT contains fixes so AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement won't cause kernel panic when loaded. I suggest removing it (can increase cpu temperature a bit) as VoodooPower is included (which works great, speedstep and everything).

If you intend to use this package please remove all the other installed drivers, mainly all the injectors as we won't be needing them. Also remove efi strings, not needed. I included com.apple.Boot.plist to increase boot delay time and mainly to set model name.

*** What is not included is AppleHDA due to legal reasons. This file require modifications and that is the only file that could be overwritten by software update. You will have to backup this file and reinstall after software/system updates. Not much, hehe;-) To make your sound working use linux codec dump and Taruga patcher to patch AppleHDA. Nothing else needed and DSDT will do the rest, audio strings already added.

nice, thanks!

Thanks, I'll give it a go, I have a P35-DS3L I'd like to install vanilla to. I may need a "nudge" in the right direction....I have some Linux skills but I'm pretty noobish with OSX...but am a fast learner. ;)

will this work for SL? Or, better, will the DSDT File Work with SL ?

pcwiz 09-13-2009 02:33 AM

Chances are that the same DSDT will work for Snow Leopard, but you need to apply the CMOS reset fix to the DSDT for it to work properly in SL.

Hi guys,

I will need to make a new package for SL, but until then here is a new dsdt (with reset fix, uhci/ehci fix added also). One is for use with nvidia 8500/8600GT with 256mb of ddr ram; if you have such a card you can use this dsdt freely otherwise you will have to decompile it and slightly modify. If you use efi string here is also a dsdt without gfx part. Also included ALC889a (just a fake plist), put in your Extra/Extensions folder.

Regards.

Thank you so much for your last post! I have a EP35-DS3R board and I have almost killed myself getting it to work with SL and your dsdt did the trick. I now have working ethernet, audio, USB ports and I no longer have to use NullCPUPowerManagement.kext!

You are my hero. As a way to show gratitude, here is a AHCIPortInjector.kext I modified to allow for native sata support. With this you no longer need IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext.

Thank to you my SL is more vanilla than a coffee creamer!

will this work also for a GA-EP45-UD3LR or another quite similar board?
How I can edit or compie a working DSDT file for this board, especially for Snow Leopard?

Thanks for your work and an answer !

Hello!

I have a GA-EP35-DS3P. I've tried to boot to install Snow Leopard from a USB stick with your kexts and DSDT.aml but after select USB BOOT on Chamaleon menu, the kexts start to be loaded from USB and during the boot (pre-install) I get an error (I think is KP) like can you see in image below. And the CMOS is reseted.

Do you know what can I do to solve that?
Thank you very much!

You have to use the latest dsdt with SL fixes and not the one from the package, its for 10.5.x. I think you used the same kexts for Snow Leopard; you need different kexts for 10.6. I will include required kexts for SL.

You can update your existing installation to 10.6, or, maybe much better way, to use external usb hdd or second internal hdd(if any) to install SL, test it, set it all up and after that restore it to your main internal hdd or just install it again from within SL.


NOTE: Please do not use this DSDT for other boards than EP35-DS3. Some boards have the same tables but some have different ones. EP35-DS3R has exactly the same one so its safe to use it. I am not sure about the "P" variant of this board as i have not personally compared it with mine yet. The best way would be to compare DSDT first before using it on another mobo variant.

which kexts should i use for SNOW ? THX!!

young-ster 11-16-2009 01:30 PM

Hey, i've installed SL running on 10.6.2 now.. however i do have a problem, at times finder seems to hang up and other applications. For instance finder sometimes shows a folder blank with the spinning gear on the bottom. It takes forever to load the files. It seems my installation is not stable. Any suggestions ? I used this guide for my installation .

Hi, I have the same mobo, but at the moment no way for me. Can you help? Thank you! jb

Lyker 12-16-2009 12:02 PM

Hi!

I have used the guide posted above on how to install from USB stick.
I cannot get it stable.. =(

How do I create an install DVD with the package and fixes posted here?
So I have a chance of getting everything right from the beginning.

I guess I somehow have to include the package and fixes in the install DVD somehow...

ydnar22 12-17-2009 04:25 AM

anyone point me in the direction of a guide to install on this MOBO i get as far as the apple boot screen then it hangs and give a no sign maybe a bios issue or could it be IDE DVD? would a USB install over come that if that is the issue and i have nto seen a guide for USB wihtout a mac

Lyker 12-17-2009 11:45 AM

I have sucefully install OSX snow leopard now.
There is however some problems... when putting the new DSDT the gfx card does not seem to work anymore.

also, Mouse does not work, I cant click anything... =(

Lyker 12-26-2009 09:26 AM

Are you working on a SL install package?

I have no luck installing... =(

FromMac2Hack 01-20-2010 06:29 AM

Fantastic installer! It's given me my best Hackintosh build so far. I was able to update from 10.5.6 retail to 10.5.8 via Software Update without a problem.

The only issue I'm having is I can't get sound to work AT ALL. I've tried adding the ALC889 kext, the Apple HDA kext, all that, but it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Richdave 02-01-2010 10:28 AM

ok forgive me but I don't get "how" to use this guide...

Can someone give a few pointers please... do I need a mac to start any of this? How do I make a boot disk from the .dmg file?

bettyboop 04-17-2010 01:31 PM

hi. i have the mb ga-ep35-ds3r whit snow leopard but the ethernet is off.hel me, please? sorry for my bad english...

Lyker 08-19-2010 11:18 AM

milanca: Have you been able to make a package for Snow Leopard yet?

milanca 08-19-2010 12:07 PM

We progressed a lot with Leopard and Snow Leopard and DSDT so a real package is really not needed anymore. What is needed now for this particular board, what i am using, is just one kext which is fakesmc and one fake plist to get the vanilla sound working. I will update this post with the latest DSDT, stay tuned.

Regards,
-milanca

Lyker 08-20-2010 07:06 AM

I downloaded this and was about to use it:

Is it better that I wait for yours?

also, thank you so much for taking time to update =)

josefka 09-04-2010 10:31 AM

@milanca,
I have the same motherboard and I used your DSDT without gfx in 10.6.4 with AnVAL4 bootoader.
In Extra/Extensions I have only (64)
fakesmc.kext
IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext
LegacyJMB36xSATA.kext
Every seems to work but my CPU is 58 celsius even at start.

Any idea ?

Thank a lot for all job

milanca 09-05-2010 10:23 PM

I am on my laptop right now so i can't upload my latest and actual DSDT. I will upload it tomorrow. I don't know which version of dsdt you are using, it went through lots of changes. My latest one has speedstep code for Q6600 and temps go around 35C on idle. If you have different cpu than Q6600 you will have to modify the speedstep code for it.

Great! I even have the same cpu as you.
Would be great if you could upload the DSDT =)

josefka 09-20-2010 12:41 AM

Thank you milanca
it will be very nice to have the dsdt for ga-ep35-dsr with the latest changes. My proc is an E8400 and I'll make the modifications
