weird thing. I don't have extensions.mkext in system/library, any idea how to rebuild? its in Extra. No love on the audio, doesn't work for me. Will try uping to latest BIOS tonight.

Snow changed the location of the caches. Now Extensions.mkext is in /System/Library/Cache, but I'm not sure if it will work just excluding the .mkext. Try boot with -v -f, with me always work.

 

Another question: For users DG31PR NEVER flash the BIOS, the USB stops working. USB only works with the BIOS version PRG3110H.86A.0052.2008.0612.1910.

I don't have that bios and my USB is working. I have the xxx.86A.0066.xxxx..

 

 

 

I have to have three extensions.mkext: in /extra, in /system/library and in /system/library/caches/com.cache.kext.com/startup. If i don't, most times my usb mouse doesn't work. And I have to regenerate them by hand with kextcache each time I install some kext or some installation that installs kexts

Guys - I'm running a similar G31 chipset mobo (Gigabyte P31-DS3L) with a very stable Leo setup.

 

About to take delivery of a 2nd 1TB drive though and fancied a play with Snow Leopard. Any advice you can give me on the install? Any particular kexts you have found to be necessary? I found a decent kext to get my sound working a real pain in the ass to find last time. I assume if trying to run Snow in 64bits I'd need to find a new kext again?

 

I was just going to add in the new HDD and install to it from inside Leo, running Chameleon 2 RC3 to make the new drive bootable then adding kexts to the chameleon/extras folder. Sound sensible?

 

I'm just a little wary since everything else works so well at the min and I don't want to bugg*r it all up.

 

All advice welcomed.

Well, I'm Brazilian, and I could understand what you said, I realize that you will start the learning process and installation of Snow. I personally collected, read and reread all those links, topics, posts and forums:

Get to work!!! :thumbsup_anim:

 

EDIT:

Unfortunately the impression that I could see is that Snow Leopard is definitely not ready for production. Not him the Snow ... Yes their products are still conforming with the new design Snow.

I think that sound is better with this New kext:

 

appleHDA.kext, just remplace

 

and dont forget HDAenabler.kext

 

this is for Intel DG31PR working with 10.6 (32bits or 64 bits)

 

 

Working!!!!

10.5.8 + 10.6.1

 

Thanks

:) Great!!! Thank you iorg!! They work also for GA-EP43-UD3L on 10.6.1 Server. :D

 

:thumbsup_anim: Million thanks!!! I have now sound after many many searches. :thumbsup_anim:

 

Thank you iorg! Here is the link again: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=184472

 

But alas, after the update to 10.6.2 sound stopped, the system does not recognize the output devices anymore. 'Sound' is empty. :( :( :(
