I have an EP45-UD3P and I used the lifehacker guide to install Snow Leopard to a separate GUID drive. I have 2 other windows drives connected to my PC. SL installed without issues, but when I try to boot it up, I get a KP every time due to SystemUIServer. I did some research and found that it has to do with spotlight ndexing, so I booted into single user mode and disabled spotlight indexing and rebooted. I still got a KP, and after several reboots, all of them were due to different things. I have put many hours into this, so could someone please help me.

 

System Specs:

EP45-UD3P rev. 1.6

E8400 @ stock voltages

XFX ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB

Samsung F1 1TB SATA drive w/ Windows 7

80GB IDE drive w/ Windows Vista

WD Caviar Blue 250GB SATA drive w/ Snow Leopard

4GB DDR2 1066 RAM

WL-138G V2 Wireless Card

I am eyeing that IDE drive with a little but less than a smile. Try disconnecting it, along with the windows 7 drive. Remember, small moves. Also, trying pulling out that wireless card, just for now.

 

Did you update the bios to the latest? f9?

I finally got it to work. I think the IDE drive was the real issue. After I unplugged all the drives, it installed fine, but my graphics kext wasn't loading. I could boot it once, but then it would stop. Then, I went into single user mode and tried to rebuild the mkext, and I found out that it skipped the kext because it wasnt authorized. So, during the first boot, I used kext utility to rebuild it, and now I have a permanently working install. I couldn't get the wireless card to work, even in 32 bit mode, which was weird, so I just bought a new usb adapter off newegg, and now it is perfect.
