For successful installation, please watch this video

 

mainboard: gigabyte ep45-ds3r

Intel® Core2 Duo CPU E7200

2gb 667 mhz ram, sata DVD and HD

7600gt 256 mb gcard

 

+ boot 10.1 file

 

+ CMOS reset fix file (for gigabyte)

 

+ ep45-ds3r ext file

 

download files

 

ALC889 sound not yet!

 

 

I have the same board and also no sound.

Any ideas so far ?

Do we have to patsch the DST differently, or is there a kext that can be instaled. I did try some lagacyhda kext but no luck

Got audio working (see here), but am getting the inadvertant KP after a few minutes of using SL. I can only boot using '-x32 -f' everything else gives me a KP at boot.

 

EDIT: EVERYTHING IS WORKING!!!! rebuild extension caches in single user mode did the trick!! :(

Very nice!!

 

Two quick questions and some observations:

  1. Have you checked your DVD/CDROM performance? Mine was running very very slow (or so it seemed) when I tried an upgrade of my 10.5.8 install from SL using the SL retail DVD.
    EDIT 9/8: DVDROM seems to behave fine... maybe a problem with the installer?!
  2. Is Bonjour working for you w/out the ifconfig/promiscous mode hack? Mine isn't, but I just found the attached but won't be able to try it until this afternoon (PST). Supposedly, the kext needs to go into /S/L/E and not /E/E.
    EDIT 9/3: this did not work for me
    EDIT 9/8: Bonjour is working now with the latest Realtek1000.kext properly installed (see below)

 

Here is some other stuff I found:

  • Possibly related: I am having issues with my auto-mounted iTunes library (NFS share on Centos box). I get server disconnects now from what was before a rock-solid set-up. By the way, Directory Utility is gone and this functionality is now in Disk Utility (File->NFS Mounts...).
    EDIT 9/3: probably NFS server related but need to investigate further
  • Time machine backups to AFP shares from my Centos box seem to be using a different naming convention now from before. TM tries to create a new sparsebundle that is simply named <computer's name>.sparsebundle. Haven't let it proceed yet though since I want to reuse my old backups but TM won't use the renamed disk image.
    EDIT 9/8: see my guide to get TM working on Linux AFP share
  • Upgrade from SL retail of a 10.5.8 install while running SL on a different volume does not work as the upgrade process creates and populates a directory on the target volume with all needed packages and then tries to reboot from that volume. I wasn't able to get that reboot to work, maybe others have better luck!? Also, the upgrade using the OSInstall.mpkg method is not clean as old shared libraries are left in place. I eventually just used Migration Assistant to transfer everything from the 10.5.8 install. That's a PITA though if you have a lot of licensed software (in my case Adobe CS3 and SnapZ Pro, for example) that uses disk ids for licensing. Need to reinstall those.

 

Otherwise, rock-solid so far :thumbsup_anim:

I have the same board and got the onboard sound to work using the ALC889A injector from here. This site is in French but just look for 889A. I have this in my Extra/Extensions folder on my Chameleon usb stick.

 

As for bonjour, I'm using the RealtekR1000.kext from Psystar. I installed it to S/L/E using OSX86Tools. Bonjour works perfectly.

That did the trick! Thanks!!

 

btw - OSX68Tools doesn't work for me anymore, but I installed the extension manually:

sudo chown -R 0:0 Realtek1000.kext
sudo chmod -R go-r Realteck1000.kext
sudo mv Realtek1000.kext /System/Library/Extensions
sudo kextcache -mkext1 Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions

Not sure if the last step is necessary, as SL seems to automatically rebuild its Extension cache now.

Do you have sound in working on both the front and back panel (ie- microphone?)

I used the OSInstall.mpkg method to get 10.6 installed after trying USB and DVD method. A lot of googling and membership to 2 other sites and I got lucky. Audio works too.

 

Hopefully next one won't be so hard!

 

Being a sucker for punishment, I'm going to upgrade to 10.6.1.

What video driver are you using? I have the same video card with you. But the driver is not properly installed. Previously I had NVInstaller+v.52.pkg working on 10.5.7, but it is not working on SL anymore. Any idea?

 

Solved by manually copied NVinject.kext.

I have this board with Q6600 but having trouble with wake on LAN.

 

Realtek1000 kext: wake on LAN doesn't work.

 

The vanilla AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext: wake on LAN works but the machine goes to a "limbo" state when it's put to sleep again (it goes on then off then on then off... every 5-10 seconds, display remains blank) I have to cut the main power stop that.

 

Anyone get that working? Or experience similar issue?

 

My System:

GA-EP45-DS3R BIOS F11e

Intel Q6600 CPU

nVidia 8400GS 512MB graphics card

2 GB DDR2 RAM
