uzmi Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hi HaChInToSh ( or anyone who tried this), I've got the same motherboard you have : P35 DS3L rev 2. I've installed Snow Leopard and I've used your DSDT.aml and later another one created by me but the audio does not work. In About this mac appears this: ID del dispositivo: 0x1458A002 ID de audio: 12 Dispositivos disponibles: Salida de línea: Conexión: Conector de 1/8 de pulgada Micrófono externo: Conexión: Conector de 1/8 de pulgada Micrófono externo: Conexión: Conector de 1/8 de pulgada Auriculares: Conexión: Conector de 1/8 de pulgada Salida S/P-DIF: Conexión: Combinado Entrada S/P-DIF: Conexión: Combinado But when I get into system preferences --> Sound--> no device appears in output or input. In S/L I've got AppleHDA.kext In Extra--> Extensions I've got LegacyHDA Did you modify, edit or add any kext ? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiocles Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have been running osx86 since 10.5.1 days, and my system has been through many different ways and methods. This was the first time I tried to do a vanilla install. It wasn't too difficult. I am on a DS3L v2.0-F9 bios Anyone who is having trouble, spend the 2 hours learning how to make the DSDT and you will be good to go! I also couldn't get the 8800GT running using DSDT. EFI string is the way to go there. Ethernet and audio were all I put in (plus the fixes). On my system, everything including 5.1 audio works properly. The only issue I am still having is sleep issues. I've read in the previous thread that it is working, but I've been reading so many over the past week I may be remembering incorrectly. Is sleep still hit and miss at the moment? Basically, it sleeps and then won't wake up. Ideas? Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I knew what I was doing wrong. 1. Use the Boot-CD method. 2. Make sure that your SL Install DVD is burnt right ( low speed with verification ) 3. Your destination disk must be on SATA 0 4. Do not install any printer driver. you can install the driver for your specific printer later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneezymarble Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 One of the previous times I installed Snow Leopard on my system I used the USB boot drive method. The dsdt.aml file I made only had the CMOS fix and, of course, when the computer would sleep I would get the sleep/wake USB device removal problem upon waking the system. Other than that, the system was perfect. So, I added the SATA fix and EHCI USB fix to my dsdt.aml. In a way that fixed the device removal problem, but only because sleep didn't work after that. I've now abandoned the USB boot drive method. For my most recent installation I restored the Snow Leopard install disc image to a 10GB Cham partition and then installed the bootloader to that same partition. No more USB. Now I use my dsdt.aml file without the SATA or EHCI USB fixes and the computer sleeps and wakes just fine. I didn't really fix the USB problem, I just don't use any USB drives anymore so I don't get the warning...give and take I guess. Anyway, I'm curious as to whether other people with this board have the device removal problem and how they've corrected it. With the EHCI USB fix, has anyone else had problems with sleep not working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally got Snow Leopard up and running 100% on my P35-DS3L rev 2.0 using this little guide and your download (specifically your DSDT.aml file). Two issues : your DSDT.aml file specifies your nVidia 9400, which I don't have. I have an nVidia 8800 GTX with 768 megs of memory. Does it really matter? Even though the system profiler said I had a 9400 video card, I could play videos, World of Warcraft, etc. without any issues at all. I guess I should build a native DSDT.aml file with built in support for my 8800 GTX but I find the whole process daunting and confusing. Also - Chameleon seems to be booting in "verbose" mode - I get every single text output before OSX boots. Forgive me if I should know this, but what do I modify so that Chameleon just stays in the GUI and boots Snow Leopard? Duh, I just removed -v from the com.apple.Boot.plist - how dumb am I? Thanks again for this information - after 3 frustrating days I am finally running Snow Leopard. Now for the daunting task of copying my working install onto a software raid array (4 x 2TB drives) Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmcgpa Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Usehttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZYOHZYK7 That did it , thanks Uzmi! I'm typing from 64 bit SL, with the right video card info. Everything (sleep, etc) works great and I do see a difference in speed over Leopard. I was even able to get this Snow Leopard install onto an 8 TB Raid-0 array (4 x 2TB drives)! The only issue I have at all (not a big deal, just slightly annoying) is that I hear a tiny... thump? click? before system sounds like emptying the trash, etc. Everything else, sleep, USB, drives... everything just works flawlessly. Thanks so much for everyone's help and advice with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
