GA-EP35-DS3R : KP during first boot

[desau13]

Installing SL on a GA-EP35-DS3R

 

I've been following blackosx's GA-EP45-DS3L guide here:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...topic=%20180954

 

After I installed SL & Chameleon, on first boot I get a kernel panic.

 

When I go into verbose boot, here's what I see:

 

First there's a lot of text that fills the screen as it's booting. Then it switches resolution, clears the screen and more text.

 

Then the KP.

 

It looks like it's panicing while trying to run a fsck on the boot device...

 

I'll try to type up a lot of the stuff I see on the screen before the KP:

Finally got past this.

 

Strangely enough, I used the 64 bit com.apple.Boot.plist, and hit Tab during the Chameleon bootup screen, then typed in "-v -s -x32"

 

This dropped me into a root single-user shell -- at which point I manually ran an fsck.

 

The fsck worked, then all subsequent bootups work. I'm still manually entering "-v -x32" .. trying to get my graphics and audio to work now.

Does sleep work on your board...? (I have an EP35-DS3P_

 

I've got most things going including shutdown and reboot..

 

Sleep refuses to work.. (can't come out of suspend)

 

Audio requires a manual editing..

 

Network drops back to 100 rather than 1000mb..

I haven't tried sleep yet, but I suspect not.

 

It never worked for me in 10.5 either .. was never a big deal for me.

 

Also .. I'm unsure about my network speed .. it's possibly 100. I note that it doesn't show "Built in" -- so perhaps I'll have Time Machine problems like I did in 10.5 until that's fixed...

 

I did finally get audio and video working.

 

For video (nvidia 9800GTX+), I used an EFI string to my com.apple.Boot.plist .. the DSDT entry just doesn't seem to work.. but the EFI string does.

 

For audio, I made sure to disable the HD audio checkbox in ACPI Patcher, then I use "3outs2ins regular headphone" LegacyHDA.kext and HDAEnabler.kext (for the 889a chipset my mobo has).

 

Bonjour isn't working .. that's next on my list.

 

I also see that my display information in System Profiler doesn't mention QE/CI .. so perhaps that'll be on the TODO (although video seems snappy .. so I'm not convinced there's a problem yet).

[desau13]

Got Bonjour working .. I just decided to use the RealtekR1000.kext. I think this is a 32-bit only driver, so I suppose I cannot use the 64 bit kernel. Not a problem for me now.. I'd rather have Bonjour than the 64 bit kernel.

 

Supposedly you can just enable promiscuous mode on en0 (with a modified ifconfig that's downloadable) -- but that seems like a very ugly hack to me .. I'd rather just use a non-apple kernel extension that works with my NIC.

 

Also .. when promiscuous mode was enabled (I did try it ...), I found that Bonjour worked, but it seemed that I couldn't connect to windows boxes anymore.

 

It's all just working with the RealtekR1000.kext.

That is real good news ... I have been reading few guides and came across your post ... I have the same MOBO .... could you possibly attach all the kexts you have used ..... I am gonna give SL a shot this weekend ... On another note has 10.5.8 update worked for you ..... i keep getting waiting for Root device error after USB errors ....
