JoQ Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hi! I'm about to try out Lion on my computer running Snow Leopard (which runs great!) I got a Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L, anyone tried if LAN, sound and so on works? And what kexts do you use? Also, does the Intel Dual Eore E5200 work as it did with Snow Leopard or is the support for non Core 2 Duo gone? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viciouzex Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I used to have the G31M-ES2L now I have G41M-ES2L. if i remember correctly if you have rev 1.0 your LAN is Realtek chipset but if its higher like 1.1 or higher its an Atheros LAN chipset. Incase you run into the problem where your lan does not want to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoQ Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Sounds great! Anyone else who's got other result or good kexts? I need to get Optical and Coax sound running. How about my processor, is it possible to run Lion on a Pentium Dual Core E5200 at the moment? Or isn't it natively supported? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilBip Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Lion does run with pentium DC E5200 on my ga-g31m-s2l and speedstep is OK with Chameleon.

JoQ Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Yes, my E5200 runs fine, and now I've got Lion up and running. With the only exception, no sound. Is it anyone who's got a GA-G31M-ES2L that's rev 1.1? Would love to have your DSDT if you got sound up and running trough it. Is there anyone who has almost all fixes in their DSDT? Like network, sound etc. Atm. I use the RealtekR1000SL.kext to get LAN working. Want to use as few kexts as possible. Please do help?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakku Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Edit: Managed to get it up and running. Has anyone managed to get sleep working? I tried the new sleepenabler in /Extra/Extensions but my system didnt wake up, went into a reboot loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the new sleepenabler in /Extra/Extensions but my system didnt wake up, went into a reboot loop. You didn't answer your own question. I was waiting for an answer Did you use the first guide that's with USB? About the sleepenabler, try pmversion=23 or sleepenablerNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I got a bit over excited after getting everything working that I didnt come back to the site I did manage to get sleep working by putting the new sleepenabler in S/L/E. Everything works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatoven Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I did manage to get sleep working by putting the new sleepenabler in S/L/E. Everything works Lovely. For me, weirdly, sleep worked fine by itself. Audio didn't. After fighting with multiple kexts and packages, I decided to try inputting arch=i386 in the kernel flags and that fixed it. I'm not running in full 64bit anymore but at least I have sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of you that hav had some success, what's the best method to do this?? many thinks I used the install-without-usb method since I dont have an 8GB USB, but I suppose you could use any method, as long as your using the right kexts it should be all good.

dakku Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 After a week of having everything working, Sleep is no longer working for me. Computer goes to sleep but doesnt wake, it goes into a reboot loop and after pulling the power plug out I get CMOS checksum error. I read on a few other threads and they posted a solution by patching the AppleRTC.kext but it doesnt seem to be working for me. Could someone thats got sleep working please post their DSDT or how they managed to get it working? I am running 64bit kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound driver isn't compatible with 64-bit afaik. I tried everything I could. I was only able to make it work by booting with arch=i386 in the kernel flags.

JoQ Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Here you go, digital audio, and everything works great, on Lion 64 bit or 32 bit. At least for a rev 1.1 board. http://www.mediafire.com/?qbf8a3l1dygmj63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuXb Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Here are the kextsExtensions instalar em S/L/E Extra It does not really seem you know what you are doing: 1. you placed the ALC662.kext into BOTH folders, E/E AND S/L/E. What is it there for to begin with? The sound chip in the GA-G31M-ES2L rev. 1.x is ALC883 !! 2. fakesmc and OpenHaltRestart you have put into S-L-E, which is very unusual. I have NEVER seen anybody do this. If they don't work for you in E/E you don't have Chameleon installed correctly. 3. What's the purpose of the NVEnabler.kext in regards to the GA-G31M-ES2L's Intel GMA 3100 graphics? Absolutely nothing ... Please elaborate, test, and (HIGHLY recommended!) correct your confused upload. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this board and I believe it was rev1.0 but i could not get it to boot into Lion, it keep rebooting. I use the USB method by the way.
