10.6 on GA-EP35-DS3L W/O Leopard

[soren121]

Took a while, but I got it working. Without a Leopard computer. I used this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=180954

 

 

Use Dr. Hurt's Chameleon 2 RC3 package to install Chameleon.

 

I used fassl's DSDT patcher and then used this post to modify it for sound. I also used the audio/LAN DSDT guide included in blackosx's support files. Use iASLme to decompile/compile the DSDT.

 

Unfortunately, the audio drivers I used had to be installed in S/L/E, along with my VoodooPS2 drivers for my keyboard.

 

Hopefully everyone else has equal success with this board.

you may want to post some detail write up on how you went about installing this on EP35-DS3L. There are many information scattered around here for EP35-DS3L so maybe can consolidate all that in one place.

 

thanks.

 

regards.

I have a EP35-DS3L and am looking at making it a Hackintosh in the next few days.

 

What distribution should I go ahead and start downloading? Which is best for the EP35-DS3L?

smeltn: I used an unmodified, retail Snow Leopard DVD. AFAIK there aren't any SL distros.

 

greythrone: I think I summed it up well in my first post. Use blackosx's EP45-DS3L guide to install, but use Chameleon 2 RC3 instead of RC2. Then follow the second link for info on how to mod your DSDT.aml for ALC888 sound support.
