Black/Blue Screen After 10.6.2 Update

I used MkextTool.
Drag all the extensions in /Extra/CustomExtensions
Change the folder to /Extra and enter Build.
It will over-write the previous version of /Extra/Extensions.mkext

3. If you have not updated yet, Update to 10.6.2. Reboot

4. Put the patched SleepEnabler.kext from netkas into /Extra/CustomExtensions

5. Rebuild /Extra/Extensions.mkext (see (2)

I generally use linux dd command to save an exact copy of my partition before doing this kind of work.
GA-G31M-ES2L Rev.2
Q8200
NVidia 9500GT 512 (Dual DVI)

Followed this guide in late September and got a stable install - great work!

Decided to update to 10.6.2 (combo) and missed the SleepEnabler fix - Kernel Panic following "successful update" reboot.

Followed steps 1 and 2 as quoted above for the following files from netkas.org:

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
SleepEnabler.kext

Rebuilt Extensions.mkext, repaired permissions on SL drive and kextcache on com.apple.kext.caches

After doing this I was able to boot, however to a black screen with no pointer. Press space key on the keyboard and get blue screen. Tried swapping DVI ports - no change.

Can boot into safe mode. Thoughts on a plan of attack?

EDIT: I just decided it was quicker to reinstall then develop a laundry list of potential fixes after sifting through the various threads.

Followed this guide but had trouble with the latest ES2L Kit - could not get sound to work nor was my ASUS WL-138g wireless PCI card recognized.

Went back to the kit with files dated 10/10/09 and all was well. Installed as per guide with the exception of SleepEnabler.kext. Upgraded to 10.6.2 flawlessly and then add the latest SleepEnabler.kext from netkas.org. Sleep works fine.

All is well in 32-bit anyways.

Try using the old DSDT he posted (file dated 10/9/09 - attached here) without any changes - seemed to work for me as I was having issues with his latest one.

I'm trying to get through the guide (original post). I started with 10.5.7 installed on the G31M-ES2L. I made my usb stick and went through the steps listed in the OP. Press F12 in start up, select my usb drive, do the install. Then I restart, press f12, select the usb drive again, but it only gives me the option to select a drive to install to again. How do I enable the startup from SATA drive where I installed SL? Am I missing a step between the lines?

G31M ES2L ethernet.

Hi All,

Would really appreciate some help.

I followed the above install, and it has gone pretty well, apart from the sound, which I'm going to tackle later.

Anyway, more importantly is the ethernet. I am using a small case and am limited with PCI slots (so no space for wifi card).

I was aware that the onboard ethernet wouldn't work (or so I have read). So bought a startech st100slp ethernet card.

It shows up as working on the system, but when I go to network, there is a red light next to it.
Anyone know how to get it working for the internet?

Thanks in advance!

You didn't explicitly say.. you have a rev 2 mobo? (rev 1 NIC works)

GA-G31M-ES2L.v1, E6300 @ 2.8GHz, nvidia GT240 (or 9500GT), 10.6.6, fakeSMC rev454

Hi,

Yes, sorry it's rev 2.
The onboard ethernet is completely dead and not recognised by SL.
So I added the card, and everything started off fine -SL picked up the ethernet card in "about this mac.

But, when I try to connect to the net, it tells me that there is some sort of problem with the connection. The ethernet has a red light next to it (as opposed to green) and it's not listed in networks, so I can tweak its settings.
Is there a driver that I need? Couldn't find one for a startech card.p

thanks!

I dont think this card is support in osx86, best to find one that works out of the box, i did for my wireless N" card, installed and worked straight away!

im a PC running Snow Leopard

iaslMe 2 errors

When I drag dsdt.dsl to iaslme I get 2 errors and 2 warnings.
This happens with the dsdt.dsl generated from DSDT_Patcher as well as the modified dsdl. dsl from the directions below.

dsdt.dsl : 327 - Store (Local0, Local0)
Method local variable is not initialized ^ Local0.

dsdt.dsl : 332 - Store (Local0, Local0)
Method local variable is not initialized ^ Local0.

Any idea why ?
Thanks!


>>>- let's begin... be sure you have a good texteditor handy (eg Textwrangler, BBEdit etc..)
- open ES2L kit Tools then "DSDT_Patcher1.0.1e" folder and double click "DSDT Patcher"
- a terminal window will open then press any key to continue
- next it will ask "Which OS to emulate? [0=Darwin, 1=WinXP, 2=WinVista]" input "0" and press enter
- a new Debug folder will appear and inside it are a few files but we are interested in "dsdt.dsl"
- open your dsdt.dsl using your preffered texteditor so we can start editing
- also as reference, open my included dsl to copy from it directly or check how it's done
- on your keyboard press "command F (Find)" and look for "_WAK", right above it copy paste "DTGP" located on your dsdtfix file
- again "command F (Find)" and enter RTC, look for "0x04" below RTC and changed them to "0x02" - this fix is for CMOS Reset
- command F (Find) and enter Azalia, go to dsdtfix file and copy paste "HDEF" to your dsl replacing azalia.. again check my included dsl for reference - this is for ALC883 Audio
