Yes of course. This is the first thing I checked

Earlier with the first version, the button worked. And only this helped to bring the screen out of the blue states. The computer went into sleep mode and come out with the image on the screen. Version 1.3 solved the problem by half with the video card, but now had a problem with the power button and sleep modes.

I've just posted a new version of the installer v1.3.1

It should fix your problems. Crosses fingers :pirate2:

Thought I'd give the newer 1.3 beta with built-in EP45T support a try on an empty drive but have had less success (USB or CD). Although it seems to install fine, after running the install.pkg and rebooting it freezes at the blue screen. Running in verbose mode indicates a KP noting "CPU 2 has no HPET assigned to it". The BIOS (F5) is set up as it was for the 1.1 install (ie AHCI, S3(STR), HPET 64-bit on with the CPU Enhanced Halt, Thermal Monitor, and EIST Function disabled) which is still running fine as is. Wouldn't mind getting this newer beta running as I assume it has a DSDT specific to the 45T board, and hopefully for the F6 BIOS in particular which boots a bit faster... :wacko:

 

Try installing the latest version v1.3.1

Well, I figured out the Boot0 error, it was a too-big hard drive. Needs a partition of about 1tb or less. Great install, pretty much everything works.

 

Temperature monitor seems to have some problems. I was 37-42 degrees C in 10.5.7. My latest temp monitor readings are 11008.0℃-10240.0℃. I believe this is several times hotter than the surface of the sun and would likely leak some heat out of the casing if it were true. Also, my SPDIF optical out doesn't seem to work. Otherwise, perfect. Excellent guide.

Hey everyone.

 

Just wanted to let you people know that the GigabyteCD.zip works perfectly with the GA-EP43-UD3L, 10.6.0.

 

After the boot -> install, I installed the package with the GA-EP45-UD3L and it boots flawlessly.

 

I'm running Q8400, 4GB RAM, 9600 GT (automatically detected) with the EP43.

 

Hope this helps someone out there!

i tried the new GigabyteBoot.pkg inside the GigabyteCD for v1.3.1, hoping to fix my sleep problems - unfortunately no luck :) (all it does is a quick forced shutdown). that being aside, i do owe you a beer or 2 ;) thanks again!

 

Hmm.. I'll look into it!

Beer is always welcome ;)

v1.3.1 definitely fixed the problem, SL installed without difficulty or modification on my EP45T ;) . Thanks so much - definitely worth a case of beer.

 

PS can I simply copy the contents of my Extras file from the 1.3.1 install into the Extras folder of my v1.1 install (upgraded to 6.2) on my primary hard drive (so I don't have to reinstall Final Cut Studio)?

Nice to hear! Thanks a lot :)

 

You can either copy the Extra folder or you can download and use the bootloader installer (GigabyteBoot.zip, third link in the first post of this thread)

Okay, here's my story. Specs first:

 

- Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 motherboard

- Intel Core i7-920 CPU

- 6GB Corsair 1600MHz Ram

- BFG Nvidia GeForce GTX285 1GB GPU

 

Ran the HD-loader/.ISO version. Went without a hitch. Checked audio and nothing. Had the similar non-device issue others had. I removed the AppleHDA.kext, used Kext Utility and installed VoodooHDA.kext and the audio works perfectly.

 

I haven't tried the LAN yet, but I don't look forward to any problems. Thanks BIG TIME for your work, mrjanek! It's insanely easy to setup and get running. I spent all weekend cursing an EFI-X that wouldn't work, then I discovered this thread, tried it and now I'm dang-near giddy.

Will this installer work with a Gigabyte EP43-DS3L board with a Nvidia 9800 GTX+? I've been trying to find a good guide and install package for the EP43 and have not had very much luck. I would try to tackle it on my own, but I'm a complete newb at doing this.

From the 1st post this board is not on the list, but from what I read this will most probably work, best is to try, I sugest starting to try with USB install and see.

Also do a search for EP45-DS3L .... might be close. If all else fails I'm sure MrJanek will make it work for you, as he has for so many other here :D

Hello MrJanek, Hello all,

i have Snow Leopard installed of a GA-EP43-UD3L with your Gigabyte.iso CD ... I think the Date of downloaded is the first week of December 2009.

 

My system work perfectly i think you can the EP43-UD3L write in your supportet list. Thanks.

 

Now i have see the new Package from your great installer, but i have no idea what for board i must select for my motherboard???

I think a good choice would be the EP-45-UD3L? What thinks it?

I need help pls. I am desperate to fix the problem. Here it is:

I was trying to enable the native NTFS write in Snow Leopard. I followed some instructions. They say to enter this in terminal:

 

sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.orig

 

sudo nano /sbin/mount_ntfs

 

#!/bin/sh

/sbin/mount_ntfs.orig -o rw "$@"

 

sudo chown root:wheel /sbin/mount_ntfs

 

sudo chmod 755 /sbin/mount_ntfs

 

And then you should unmount the NTFS drive and mount it back. It should work, but in my case I can't mount NTFS drives. I tried everything and even external hard drive can't mount itself. I am really desperate. Please help!! :(

 

I get this message in Disk Utility:

I suggest trying NTFS-3G for Mac. Be sure to restore the original files before installing though.

Hell mrjanek,

just a little note to say thanks for the easiest install I have tried to date, believe me I have tried many!!!

I would like to confirm that my brother tried it on the following:

 

Gigabyte ep35c-ds3r

Corsair 800mhz 6gb

Nvidia 8800gt graphics card

Soundblaster audio card

Snow Leopard Original 10.6.0 - updates without problem to 10.6.2.

 

Everything installed perfectly, everything working smoothly. This great package you created is not restricted to ICH10 or P45 boards. I feel the small amount of compatible boards listed on the front page needs updating.

Keep up the great work......

Paragon NTFS and NTFS- 3G for Mac runs only in 32 bit Mode- so if snow leopard runs in 64 bit mode you can install the apps but not use them !

 

Not right! I have fully working system with read/write ability on ntfs file systems in 64-bit mode!

 

ToDo list:

 

1) http://static.caurea.org/MacFUSE/MacFUSE-2.1.7.dmg 64-bit version of MacFuse.

 

2) http://sourceforge.net/settings/mirror_cho...1.14-macosx.dmg Latest ntfs-3g driver

 

Don`t forget to uncheck MACFUSE INSTALL, installing ntfs-3g driver, because we have installed it earlier in 1 line.

 

3) Have fun :(
