Hi,

I download the 10A432 gold master build dmg and followed a few guides to try and install it, however none of them worked.

Just wondering if anyone else has had any luck?

 

The closest match that I have found is http://www.teknojunkie.com/2009/08/guide-s...32-coming-soon/ guide. But everytime I try and boot into snow leopard it kernal panics almost instantly.

 

I'm currently running 10.5.3.

 

Help me

 

Most of the gigabyte board are flexible in bios settings. you can check your bios settings as per my guide which is basically for EP45-UD3L and try your SL install. I found it really easy using this guide.

Hi all,

 

I used this method:

 

http://lifehacker.com/5351485/how-to-build...start-to-finish

 

It worked fine apart from one weird thing. My system profiler wouldn't recognize my firewire card. So i cannot use my motu 8 pre. I don't want the onboard soundcard. I also tried to run Logic and Final cut with no luck.

I have the P35 DS3L mobo.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

 

Did you use the dsdt.aml from the lifehacker guide? If so, that's probably causing some problems. I did the same thing with the same board. The thing that fixed all my problems was using blackosx's dsdt guide to create my own dsdt file. If you don't want to use the onboard sound then just don't add sound support to your dsdt when you make it. Also, my system profiler recognizes my hardware just fine without smbios; so, you might try deleting it.

Thaks for the reply. So that means i have to install windows on my system to get that patcher running. I cannot do it. Is there a way around it to stay in osx?

I have it running near perfectly (I have to set my graphics card as a 9800GTX rather than a GTX 260 as I haven't figured out how to get that working yet) on my GA-P35C-DS3R using d00m42's guide - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=181903

 

That lifehacker one, contrary to the earlier post, does have a DSDT and extra kext's - you're just using the one he provides hor his specific content. You're always much better building your own DSDT and it's not difficult, just double check everything - I missed a } out in my audio settings and it took me ages to figure out why it wasn't working

I got it finally thanks! However the BIOS reset is not fixed. Do i need another patcher for that?
