I have a p-35-ds3l rev 1 with f9 bios. I have tried uzmis extra folder as well as josh8178's extra folder and other dsdt files and kext configs for p35-ds3l. I have everything working perfect other then being able to wake from sleep. When I awake from sleep the cpu fan starts going again and the lights turn back on however the screen remains blank. When I power the computer off and back on after the apple logo screen disappears the screen goes black right right after all the pro-boot stuff. The only way I can get the computer to boot up again is to start from my boot 123 and then restart and boot from hd again with chameleon. I have read in forums "To fix sleep/wake, tick “Restart automatically after a power failure.” box in Energy Saver." I want to try this method however I do not have those options in energy saver as I am using desktop not laptop. ANy help that can be provided to me would be great thanks

 

 

by the way my video card is a 9400 gt with one gig of ram

Well, the update to 10.6.1 went so flawlessly that I, for the first time ever, clicked the update button without first checking these boards to see if 10.6.2 was safe. Now my machine KPs almost immediately after I click through the Chameleon screen upon startup.

This guide worked so well for me, I'm hoping someone here can help me fix my installation without starting from scratch. I wonder if I can reboot using the boot CD and retail DVD, and then restore using my Time Machine backup?

I'm grateful in advance for any tips.

You probably only need to delete sleepenabler.kext and install the new version for 10.6.2

Removing SleepEnabler.kext worked like a charm. Many thanks.

It wasn't simple for me, as I'm still a newbie, because I had to delete the directory using Terminal from the SL retail DVD. For others, here are the steps:

 

1) Boot from SL boot CD as outlined in this guide. Remove CD after Chameleon loads.

2) Load SL retail DVD, press F5, boot from DVD using verbose mode (- v from Chameleon screen)

3) Choose your language, move to next installer screen. Go no further, instead open Terminal from Utilities menu.

4) Remember that you are working from the Apple DVD, so you need to navigate into the hard drive that contains your SL installation that is having troubles.

Thus, at command line prompt, type cd /Volumes

5) Find your startup volume, the one that's been having kernel panics at startup. (using the command "ls" with no quotes)

6) cd /[YourVolume]/Extra/Extensions/

In this Extensions directory you'll find the SleepEnabler.kext using the ls command. In my case, I couldn't remove in one shot the whole kext, which is seen as a full directory by Terminal, without working my way into each subdirectory and using the rm or rmdir commands on the individual files, and then the empty subdirectories.

For more on the basics of working in Terminal, I suggest this primer (thanks to Hayne):

http://hayne.net/MacDev/Notes/unixFAQ.html

 

For now, I'm going to leave the sleep turned off in my Energy Saver panel and make sure everything else works. But I have sound, ethernet and my GeForce 9500 GT (1 Gb) video is working fine.

Next maybe I will try the new SleepEnabler.kext by Netkas.

 

Again, thanks to lanxxx for the help and to everyone who is contributing to this guide for GA-P35-DS3L.

Sorry to revive a dying thread, but I've got an issue. I've used Empire EFI to install and everything seems good. I put Uzmi's DSDT.aml in /Extra and I can boot without my BIOS puking on me, but I'm stuck at 1024x768 on my monitor. It's a widescreen monitor with a native resolution of 1680x1050. I'm not sure how to get it to work at its native resolution. The 10x7 is the only available option within OS X. BTW, I have an nVidia 8800GT 512MB graphics card.

Update:

Got the resolution fixed, reboots okay, haven't tried sleep.

 

Can't get QE running. I've tried the GraphicsEnabler key in com.apple.Boot.plist and setting it to yes, but so far no dice. Does anyone know of any other way to get it working?

I am having the hardest time getting my ga-p35-ds3l 2.0 to work with 10.6.2. I can install 10.6 from the retail DVD using Empire EFI and run it all day. Using the dsdts in this thread I got audio working. I can't for the life of me get a successful upgrade to 10.6.2. After installation, the computer keeps rebooting just as Chameleon times out and goes to the MyHack splash screen. I know about the SleepEnabler problem and have tried both deleting the kext altogether and updating to the 10.6.2 version, rebuilding the kext cache in /Extra in both cases, but nothing seems to make a difference. The stupid thing never gets past the Chameleon screen. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

So did you ever get your audio working ? I got mine working just fine with a DSDT edit and a legacyHDA kext if you would like I could post my DSDT.aml and the kext. I am Using A GA-P35-DS3L with F8 Bios. It has full working sound plus the ich10 trick so it fixes the USB and the unknown SATA, No Video in my DSDT edit. I use graphic enable in boot.plist and Legacy4800contoller.kext in my extra folder.

 

Has anyone gotten the onboard audio to work? I think I've tried all the kext files with no luck.

 

Here is my DSDT

I did get two channel audio to work, but I went back to windows 7 temporarily.

I used your kit. Booted it on my P35DS3L V2 , picked the snow leopard from the list and got a version mismatch between kernel and cpu. Any ideas?

 

Snow Gigabyte P35 DS3L v2

 

We need to create a file from Leopard DSDT.aml basic (at least with the correction of Device (RTC) so it does not unconfigurate the bios on every boot).I also added audio and graphics.

 

Restart with SLBoot

Change cd SLBoot for dvd Snow 10a432

Install (unchecking printers in Customize)

Reboot after installation, again changing the DVD Snow for cd SLBoot

Configure

Upgrading to 10.6.1 and rebooting

Install Chameleon 2RC 3

In the Extra folder create another folder called Extensions and install kext's:

AHCIPortInjector

fakesmc (version 2)

IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector

JMicronATA

LegacyHDA

NullCPUPowerManagement

OpenHaltRestart

PlatformUUID

SleepEnabler

 

Also put DSDT.aml Extra, com, apple.Boot.plist and smbios.plist (modify the settings according to your Hardware)

Install and run kext Utility 2.3.2

Reboot .... And enjoy.

 

Note:

Every time I used to restart my computer the Bios used to unconfigurate until I used DSDT.aml

That might be because the DSDT is not compatible with your setup. I'm having the same and that's using someone elses DSDT, which is probebly why, but I cannot figure out how to make my own DSDT based on my HW.

 

I have a rev2 P35-DS3L with an E2180 and a ATI Radion 3850 HD.

 

Not to mention my Wifi USB WDA130 which I have no idea how to set up.
