[GUIDE] Gigabyte G31M-ES2L Retail Tutorial

[leroy308]

Hi I followed this guide using my KVM switch but now I have issues with keyboard recognition. I am using a USB mouse to get past those problems too. The keyboard was working before I upgraded to 10.5.8 earlier. Any ideas on this? I'd really like to be able to use the KVM switch if it is possible.
The rest of it is awesome...online updating without fear...who'd have thought it? Thanks

All installed fine, but cant get the reboot fixed, osx read the cpu as 4ghz, and error log says cpu problems, it boot fine with boot 123 cd.

any idea someone ?

10.5.8 is out! no problem here so far, just reinstall the audio kext after the update, reboot and you're good to go.

edit: automatic sleep still doesnt work

[mecanoiz]

yup same here.... just had to reinstall the audio

Am i the only one having trouble with Torrent-applications? Every time i use like Transmission i get the beach ball spinning around and no response where-ever i click. It's really annoying, why is that happening?

I have installed retail once before on this board, worked fine until 10.5.8. It eliminated my NIC card, so I backed up my files and did a reload to bring it back to 10.5.7. I have everything running again, except the NIC...it keeps saying "Cable Unplugged" in the network settings. The router I am plugging into blinks up all three lights on the front once every 3 seconds or so. I have placed the ReatekR1000.kext into SLE, and into the Extras folder on the EFI partition. Still nothing. Is there anything else I can do...or is it dead hardware?

Anyone going to do a snow leopard guide for this motherboard, it would be much appreciated.

Definitely, a Snow Leo guide would be great. I tried to get it working today using the tutorial at teknojunkie.com but got the error message of "You need to restart" while I was going through the registration process.

I just messaged another user that got Snow working on this board, if I'm able to get it working I'll let you guys know what I did.

i can make a guide but Snow is not publicly released yet plus still waiting for a better audio kext on 64bit other than voodoo.. im using stock applehda now + legacyhda (e/e) but i have no audio feedback if i change the volume, the rest are fine though..

not an expert too so maybe we should just let the old timers guide us here and we should just follow

[arsonwells]

It would be awesome if you would. Even though the GM may not in fact be final, the same steps would most likely apply, no?

Anyway, I just tried installing again with the kexts you specified (minus voodoo) and this time it wouldn't even boot past the Apple logo. Just keeps spinning.

All 64-bit versions as far as I know. Not sure what I'm doing wrong :/

Didn't patch DSDT for CMOS fix, haven't yet figured out how but it should still boot without it from what I've read.
