DDR 2 2 GB ram

Hdisk 500 GB stata


thks

That is a GREAT question Muneernk.

I see that my device id's are already set in the vanilla AppleIntelPIIXATA.
I have tested so many different AppleIntelPIIXATA all panic.

I have tried my 10.5.8 file - panic
I copied my plist ICH data from 10.5.8 to 10.6 - panic
If i remove AppleIntelPIIXATA - waiting for root device.
Netkas' Intel ATA support for Snow Leopard - panic

Snow Leopard install in progress.

In order to get the DG31PR motherboard to not panic you must change the bios version.
Install this version
PRG3110H.86A.0047.2008.0227.1745

This will allow you to install and get going. You will also need to use leopards ioatafamily.kext to make it work. good luck..

I did what u said and down graded my bios to the version u posted.
I still had panics, so I went thru the new bio settings to see what changed from the downgrade.

All I changed was the advanced settings/drive configuration and disabled auto mode. THAT WORKED!

So I decided to flash my bios to latest version and only disable the drive auto mode still worked fine.

Thank you for getting me on the right path.

Ill report back when I have it all working.

Snow Leopard install in progress.

first of all thanks Aesop69...i had almost given up on the install after getting countless kp's..but after reading your post bam!! sl booted and after setup i rebooted without any flags no problem..even the hdds showing up as folders and du actin up problem went away in 64 bit mode..just soundless and ethernetless for the moment...thanks to all the people in the community..

btw i used instructions for osx86 wiki..its flawless and works 99%..

thanks again.

w0rm.

I found out that using dsmos was the problems for me with drives not looking like drive icons but folder icons so I switched to fakesmc.
Before I switched dsmos for fakesmc diskutil would kp 3/4 way on verify or repair permissions

Now all my drives look like drives & no panics

When u turn off auto mode in the bios it disables 2 of the SATA ports (Disabled IDE mode) this is not acceptable to me since I have 6 drives installed and making the sata run in ide mode turns off the drives above 4

I still have no sound or PS2 KB or Mouse yet.

Retail Snow Leopard installed but still testing.

Guys, I have been trying to install SL on my DG31PR and keep getting panics. First, can one of you post some screen shots of your bios settings so I can match them?

My setup is:
intel e5300
DG31PR Bios version 0065
Geforce 7300GT
Sata segate HD
sata LG DVD burner

method trying to use to install SL is from os x project install guide using USB method.
Using latest version of Chameleon 2.0, and netkas bootloader 10.1.

Thanks

All I changed was the advanced settings/drive configuration and disabled auto mode. THAT WORKED!

It is the 1st item u can change under the drive configuration.

I installed from a working leopard.
Restored dvd to a 10g partition.
Used a program to show hidden files
installed Chameleon
Added Fakesmc to E/E on dvd
added AppleIntelPIIXATA from leopard to Snowloepard IOATAFamily
Added IOATAFamily to S/L/E on DVD
I used a kext util to repair permissions for 10g E/E & S/L/E
Deleted Extenstions.mkext from Extra (if util made one)
Created a 20g Partition, enabled journaling
boot system into Chameleon 2.0
Choose the 10g drive to boot (dvd restored to drive)
Installed to 20g partition
during reboot after install I booted into Leopard
installed Chameleon from leopard to new 20g drive
Installed Fakesmc to 20g E/E
Used a DSDT patcher to patch 20g (I did not need this to boot)
copied patched IOATAFamily from DVD to 20g S/L/E
Used a kext util to repair permissions for 20g

Sound & PS2 not working

For use SATA in Auto Mode, follow this topic on HMBT Forum. This works. Download IOATAFamily.kext fixed.
