I am having the exact same problem, did you ever figure out a solution to see the drive where Snow Leopard installed?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured out what the problem was... my keyboard didn't work with boot up for some reason, but switched to a different one and now everything's great!

will this method work for sure on the G41M-ES2L Rev 1.1 boards ???

Also I notice there is no AHCI Sata mode in the bios, is this a deal breaker?

Hey guys,

Anyone made the rear audio blue port (maybe line-in) as speaker out (aside from the green port). I need to add two more speakers that will be plugged in the blue port but it will not work. Of course, it works in Windows 7 as rear speaker out. I already have two speakers which are connected to the green port and works fine. I was hoping that I can also do this in OSX with the blue port additional speaker thingy.


Thank you

I have a G31M-ES2L Rev 2 which I have gotten everything but the ethernet working. I understand the onboard ethernet is junk on this board so I bought a TrendNet TEG-PCITXR PCI ethernet card which Lifehacker and others have said works OOB.

The card gets recognized by OSX although it only gets a self assigned IP address.

Has anyone had any experience getting a card with only a self-assigned IP address working?

P.S. I used the myHack_Installer_1.0.mpkg, DSDT Patcher, and the following kexts;

EvOreboot.kext
FakeSMC.kext
IONetworkingFamily.kext
LegacyALC883.kext
LegacyAppleRTC.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
SleepEnabler.kext

Now that the OP has "retired" and 10.6.3 is out will someone else experienced be updating the Guide?

I see Asere's bootloader is now included - does that mean we no longer need worry that there is a new version of MyHack out?

Alright all, I took the dive and am running 10.6.3.

Delete your 10.6.2 sleep enabler kext and replace with this one:

Then after the update, run tonymacx86's package to get your audio working again:

I'm still testing sleep. Last auto sleep using the RIP3 script didn't wake from sleep, but rebooted my comp. Still testing.

Oh, and yes this is running on a G31M-ES2l specifically.

I had to reverse to 10.6.2

Got a blue screen with 10.6.3
Removed sleepenabler before updating.
Maybe it's something to do with my graphics card (7300).
I'll just have to wait awhile before updating, see what develops.


G31m-ES2L
E6300@ 2.8
7300 GT
64 bit


edit: its a 64 bit problem, it works when using "arch=i386" as boot argument.
Fixed sound by installing AppleHDA.kext from 10.6.2 by dropping on Kext Utility.

I just update to 10.6.3 and was having issues of my display being "oversized". By this I mean that the sides and top/bottom are off the screen causing me to not even be able to see my menu bar at the top and cutting off some of the dock. I am using a Asus 9400 with a HDTV as my display. What can I do to fix this problem? I already made sure I do not have screen zoom turned on. I just got done wiping the HD and reinstalling from scratch. Same issue. It works fine under 10.6 (and also had 0 issues in 10.6.2) but as soon as I update to 10.6.3 it starts oversizing the screen. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Here's my less than perfect update log...

- Made backups of Extras and the 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext (in S/L/E)
- Downloaded the Combo Update from the Apple website (via browser)
- Moved SleepEnabler.kext out of Extras
- Applied Update.. let it finish
- Restart
- got a KP - Reboot.. insert USB key from original install, boot from that.. drop into Terminal.. cd to /Volumes/Extra/Extensions... WTF.. SleepEnabler is still there.... rm -r -f SleepEnabler.kext
- Reboot .. comes up this time
- USB is dead.. unplug kbd and mouse.. plug them back in.. now they are alive
- No audio (figured I'd check)
- Tried File->Sleep... display shuts off but not machine.. cannot get it back
- Shutdown/Reboot
- Move 10.6.3 AppleHDA.kext to a backup folder
- Run 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext installer
- Copy SleepEnabler for 10.6.3 to E/E
- run kext util
- reboot
- Audio is working
- Go to File->Sleep. Display turns off... machine does not.. machine will not wake up either.

EDIT: Ok, I'm just stupid... I accidentally copied SleepEnabler to Extra.. not Extra/Extensions.. all was good...
EDIT2: I lost sound.. see below and it gets worse
