hello

 

my p35 ds3p work perfecly on mac os x tiger 10.4.10 (lan, audio...)

but it's no workly on Leopard :( (i have a message error: "Still waiting for root device" )

hey

 

I had the same problem when i tried install ToH RC 2 :) but I was able to install Leopard using BrazilMac Patched DVD without any problems. To install Leopard I used my DVD-RW connected to my IDE controler (yes it works ) JAS 10.4.8 also works perfect

are you running in achi mode?

care to share bios settings?

 

thanks for the heads up on the cd though, was about to waste some ratio... gracias

Yes :) When I installed Leopard first time, installation takes me about 1 hour. I just finished installing Leo using ACHI mode and i must say in ACHI mode Leopard runs really fast also installation takes not so much time (about 12 minutes :P )

 

in bios i changed only ACHI and SATA native ports 0-3 to enabled

tried to instal, but it said i could not instal on this computer; figured i burnt the image wrong.

 

did you format the drive before, or just instal on top?

Hi I got a GB P35-DS3 Mobo, E6750, Geforce7300GT, 2GbDDR2-800. I've installed Jas 10.4.8+jas Combo Upd 10.4.9 + Koolkal 10.4.10 Update + 8.10.3 Kernel from greendemon.

Still I can't see all my SATA Ports in Syst profiler (Generic AHCI - null) only two of the orange ones. IDE works, I got SATA DVD-RW Pioneer.

 

 

I have the same problems...NO IDE only only SATA Harddisk on port 1+2 orange....and still no sound.

I use the XxX 10.4.10...

Every help will be welcome Thanks :D

Is there no solution to get the 3rd and 4th sata port working? I have a GA-P35-DS3L, which only has the 4 ICH9 ports. The first two ports work great, but nothing from the other two. I just bought two more drives, and I really don't want to get a PCI-E raid card or something :unsure:

Okay, well I think I found the reason the 3rd and 4th ports aren't working. In my bios, "SATA Port0-1 Native Mode" is enabled. If they are on the same controller, why can't I enable native mode for ports 2 and 3?! I could swear I've read other P35 boards control all 4 ports with this setting (SATA Port0-3).

 

What can I do? I checked the mobo manual, and when native mode is disabled (as I assume is the only option for the 3rd and 4th ports), the drives operate in Legacy IDE mode. Are there any steps I can take to add support for this IDE mode? Do I need to add my sata controller dev id to the ide kexts, per chance?

 

Any insight is appreciated!

 

UPDATE: Well, I just went back in my bios and DISABLED Native Mode for Ports 0-1. My machine still boots, and the drives on ports 0 and 1 still work fine. Still nothing from ports 2 or 3. So I guess that rules out that theory. If ports 0-1 work with or without Native Mode, I guess it shouldnt make a difference I can't control it for ports 2-3 :)

I am interested in this board for use with Leopard. So from what I've read in this thread:

 

1. Only 2 SATA ports work

2. The IDE port works if you use BrazilMac or do Skital's IDE hack

3. Ethernet needs a patch

4. Audio needs a patch

 

Any other "gotchas" ?

I have a p-35 ds3L.

 

Weaksauce.. yes it overclocks REALLY nicely ;)

 

Core2Quad @ 3600

4gig 4-4-4-12 ram

7300XL gigabytes overclocked card - affordable and good.

 

 

 

Running @ 3.2 i get a 185 in xbench.

running @ 3.6 i get 215

over 310 without the disk score :( << i have heard that the aakays ? drives from WD are fast on this board.

 

Buss speed at 1600 memory at 1000.

 

Everything barely even warm and i know it could be pushed much harder but why try harder..

 

I paid around $700 and used an old pc for a donor box and psu.

 

Also runs EFI 5.2 (after some little bit of fiddlin in unix lol)

 

I used toh then updated to latest toh kernel.

then efi then software update via apple menu to 10.5.1

LOVE IT !!!

 

I have a xp drive that i just choose with the F12 method on startup.

 

I dont have sound working but i havent tried. Want to hear from someone else what works for sound in 10.5.1 on the ds3L board.

 

Latest versions of NVinject works 100% great on my 73000xl card.

 

I know i'm a bit late in thread for this but anyway here is my XBENCH.

Hi,

 

I'm about to buy a new mainboard for my C2D 6600. I don't need SLI, so I decided to buy the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3, because on my current MSI board with Intel P965 I'm unable to install it :/

 

Does anyone here has this board (not the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P) and does it work fine with Sound, SATA etc.?

 

I really hope so :lol:

 

Ciao

Nemo

 

I have Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R (rev 1.1). Works nice! :P

I am tryin' EFI 5.2 to work now. Haven't any benchmarks yet... So, later.

hi,

 

I just purchased GA-P35-DS3L like yours. I'm still waiting for the parts to be shipped so I dont have it right now. I'm hoping that I can get all the kext needed so I won't have problems with the installation =)

 

Could you please upload the kexts/installers needed for this motherboard to work? Like the Ethernet, IDE, audio (if you found the solution) and anything else that you think is important. Since this motherboard is getting popular for hacks (super cheap!), it would be great if you can do this for all current/future users of this mobo.

 

I have a 7300LE graphics card so the Nvinject you used will be helpful if you upload too =)

 

Also, are there pointers we should consider before installing? Like bios settings (AHCI, Native ..blabla) .. a guide would also be great =)

 

I think some steps for the DS3R wont work with the DS3L since they have 2 different southbridge chipsets. I think they have 2 different integrated audio as well (not sure though if DS3R has 889a and DS3L has 888) ..

 

Thank you and Happy New year everyone!!!
