[GUIDE] Retail Snow Leopard DVD install for G31M-ES2L

[disco monkey]

I couldn't get 10.6.5 to work in 64bit so I did a fresh install of 10.6.0 and updated to 10.6.6 64bit without any problems. I haven't tried putting sleepenabler back in yet, but everything else seems to be working great.

edit:
used 10.6.5 sleepenabler from http://code.google.com/p/xnu-sleep-e...es/detail?id=4

added kernel flag pmVersion=21 to com.apple.Boot.plist

everything works

Did you manage to get sleep working with that sleepenabler? I cant seem to get it working, I dont get KP's, everything works except for sleep.

yes, sleep works just fine. I can put it to sleep and it also goes to sleep on it's own with the timer. It wakes up with everything working.
In the sys preferences I have everything checked under Energy Saver.

I have a ver.1 board. The only kexts in E/E are fakesmc, legacyalc883, nullcpupowermanagement & sleepenabler.

@disco monkey, could you please post your Extras folder since I cant get sleep to work either, it doesnt wake up from sleep. Also, are you in 64 bit?

Doesnt work under 64bit, causes KP's, but it does work for 32bit. Maybe just the conversion is needed?

Got sleep working. I removed sleepEnabler and NullCpuPM kext and used the dsdt in the g31m kit posted elsewhere. Here is what my com.apple.Boot.plist looks like:


<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=i386 pmVersion=21 PCIRootUID=1</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>3</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1400x1050x16</string>
<key>Theme</key>
<string>bootcamp</string>
</dict>

I installed the RC5 version of chameleon 2 from iBoot 3.0.3, and had to check all the boxes in the Energy Saver.

With sleep working, the crappy VodooHDA had to go. Following a wake-up it would creek and distort. I ended up using a Taruga alc883 driver, found elsewhere. The alc883_add0_AppleHDA is the version that worked for me. I had to get rid of alcinjector and all other alc88x kexts, like the legacy one in /E/E/. The Turaga alc883 works great.

Also, for the network driver I'm using lnx2mac driver. Works great and it's fast.

So now the only kext in my E/E is the fakesmc. Here is the list of non apple kext on my system:

$ kextstat |grep -v apple
Index Refs Address Size Wired Name (Version) <Linked Against>
31 0 0x55375000 0x4000 0x3000 org.netkas.fakesmc (2) <13 7 4 3>
70 0 0x5b8f7000 0x21000 0x20000 com.lnx2mac.driver.RealtekRTL81xx (0.0.67) <69 14 5 4 3 1>
98 0 0x5b66c000 0x3000 0x2000 com.evosx86.driver.lspcidrv (1.0) <4 3>

Nice clean setup.

can you post a link to this? Which rev mobo do you have (1 or 2) ?

I've been seeing several reports of ppl saying they were sleeping without SleepEnabler, but even tho I'd run the dsdt tools, I'm not having any luck getting rid of SE.

I can report that I had the digital audio out working (simply with the 10.6.2 AppleHDA kext). I'm in the middle of reshuffling machines in the house.. moving the hackintosh to be my HTPC (in place of the linux box I've been using), b/c there is no Netflix for linux Actually makes more sense to have the Mac there.. altho it makes it a little less convenient for non-HTPC use... can always use VNC too, I suppose

So I'm at 10.6.6.. just looking to slim down the E/E folder if possible.

Here is a link to a working dsdt for G31m-es2l rev 1.1:

http://www.filedropper.com/dsdtv2soundlegacy

I used the LegacyALC883.kext and AppleHDA from 10.6.4 since that results in zero driver reported errors. Like I said, no sleepenabler or nullcpupm, and *everything* in both 64-bit and 32-bit modes flawlessly.

Here is what's in my boot.plist:

<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=i386 pmVersion=21 PCIRootUID=1</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>3</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
