fallenlordz Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 First off I would like to say that I am new to this OS I recently bought a GA-G31M-ES2L and received a Rev.2 board. Got video, and sound to work but not the onboard lan. I know its because its a Atheros chipset that it does not work out of the box. The real thing that bugs me is the restart and shut down not working. Is there a setting in the installation that I should select to make those work?

rutro Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Get VoodooPower.kext... I'm not sure where to download it at, but if you google it you shouldn't have much trouble finding it. It worked for me. Everything works for me except for ethernet and sleep. Does anyone else with rev. 2 have trouble with sleep? If not, what kext did you use? I tried sleepenabler to no avail.

Nick I was not able to get this motherboard to sleep in Leopard (I gave up...). I did, however, get it to sleep with a vanilla install of Snow Leopard. =) Everything except for Ethernet works great in snow leopard. I think these are the kexts I used. FramebufferDisabler.kext OpenHaltRestart.kext LegacyAppleRTC_32bit_Only.kext PlatformUUID.kext NullCPUPowerManagement.kext fakesmc.kext There's a good guide for installing snow leopard on rev. 1 that works well for rev 2... google something like "install now leopard ga-g31m-es2l snow leopard" and look for the guide on how to install it from vanilla. Good luck. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/182318-ga-g31m-es2l-rev-2-install/#findComment-1406309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
