BIOS setting G31M-ES2C - 10.6 Installation

[vamose]

Hi All,

 

Can any one provide me the BIOS settings for G31M-ES2C rev.2.0 firmware version FF. The firmware version does not need to match mine; I am ready to change it.

I had Snow Leopard installed on this board with everything working. I tried to upgrade the Chameleon to version 5 and that’s when everything broke.

 

 

 

Now I am unable to reinstall the Snow Leopard using USB boot method. The USB boots up, but does not go beyond the apple logo (left computer on for over 5 hours, but installation does not move beyond the apple logo screen, no additional visual signs).

 

 

 

I have read on various posts, to have the bios setting reset to Optimized option and make following changes:

 

Advanced BIOS Features :

 

• • HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability [Enabled]
    
  • CPU Enhanced Halt [Disabled]
    
  • CPU Thermal Monitor [Disabled]
    
  • CPU EIST Function [Disabled]
    

[*]Integrated Pereprhals :

• USB Keyboard Function [Enabled]
  
• USB Mouse Function [Enabled]
  
• SATA RAID/AHCI Mode [AHCI]
  
• Onboard SATA/IDE Device [AHCI]
  

[*]Power Management Setup :

• HPET Mode [64-bit Mode]
  

For the G31M-ES2C there is no option to select AHCI mode. Can anyone suggest what mode has to be selected? Please refer to the attached Bios setting Query .doc file attached
