Onetrack Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Awesome guide Weaksauce - will be a keeper for sure.. looks like you've covered all the bases. BTW, word on the street is that .4 is due out in early july. PEOPLE take note, this is for the V2 board / V.7 bios ! its important, I'm sure Weaksauce doesn't want to be hammered with questions why your amd sempron on the ecs motherboard doesn't run leopard after following his guide !... compatibility is key ! v1.0 25-June-2008 This guide is for the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Rev 2.0 motherboard running BIOS v.7.

weaksauce12 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Stella has found a working Onboard Ethernet driver from Psystar of all places: http://www.psystar.com/realtek_r1000_driver.html It takes 5-8 seconds for the Ethernet to kickstart itself after waking from sleep, but it works. I'm guessing their version has a feature that automatically resets DHCP on wake. So, if you don't want to buy the $8 Network Card, this is a good option to go with!

Onetrack Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hey Lindmar, did you get them from NCIX ? (wired was telling me you're in Canada as well) I scored a couple great deals from them today PNY Verto GeForce 8800 GTS 650MHZ 512MB 1.94GHZ PCI-E DDR3 Dual DVI HDTV Out Video Card 30570 1 $169.99 Samsung Spinpoint F1 Series HD103UJ 1TB SATA2 7200RPM 8.9MS 32MB 3.5IN Hard Drive OEM 3YR MFR Wrnty 28171 1 $155.99 Whoo hoo (totally off topic, but had to share.)

iSkylla Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Just a note, vanilla kernel works absolutely fine with the DS3L board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaksauce12 Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Just a note, vanilla kernel works absolutely fine with the DS3L board. What was your install method? I tried both the 9.2 and 9.3 vanilla kernels and shutdown/restart got all screwed up. I haven't tried the sleep kernel since reverting back to the 10.5.2 kexts, however, so I'll give that a shot this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaksauce12 Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 I got internal wireless working using an Encore ENLWI-N PCI card. It's an 802.11b/g/n card and only costs $35 at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...amp;Tpk=ENLWI-N Here's the driver: http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/..._2007_11_26.dmg It works just like the HCL says - it shows up as an Ethernet connection. When you configure it, it's programmed to open their wireless utility, where you can then join a network and see detailed information about wifi-related stuff. A little weird that it doesn't show up as an Airport or have a wireless icon in the menubar, but hey, for $35 I'm not complaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fagosu Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Just a note, vanilla kernel works absolutely fine with the DS3L board. Would you care to share how you did it? I'm looking to build a new hack and I would really like to run vanilla. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSkylla Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 You don't have to do anyting. I can run a completely vanilla install with an IntelCPUPM disabler, and an SMBIOS enabler, I don't have to remove a single kext. It will run like that, for sound I just need a patched HDA, video, a string, TM, also a dp string. It's really a very compatible board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaksauce12 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 So what is the advantage of running vanilla? I also see you are running 10.5.2? Nothing really...even with a Vanilla kernel, the 10.5.3 update breaks the system unless you install it with something like Kaly's combo updater or following Netkas' directions.

iSkylla Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Actually no, I have a IntelCPUPM disabler and a one line modification to dsmos and you can update through Software update, believe me, I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were able to download 10.5.3 without any special Terminal mumbo-jumbo or a special installer package??

Dammacx Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Any thoughts on how similar and thus how compatible the other versions of this board would be. Great tutorial BTW - Might be my guide to my first Hackintosh GA-P35T-DS3P (rev. 1.0) (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2622) GA-P35-DS3R (rev. 2.1) (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2746) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote this guide specifically for the DS3L rev.2 board using Kalyway so that people could have a 100% working system simply by following a list instructions.

Okay, you have to spell out how you did that for us now Yep and I wrote a whole guide on it, I got 0 replies until I rebumped the thread myself. And I already said what I did. I use a kext that disables AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement from ever loading and I changed the last value in the Info.plist of dsmos from Safe-Boot to Root. That's it.

Onetrack Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 My prices were actually less.. I got the PNY Verto 8800GTS and the 1TB samsung F1 hd for 130 each, no tax, no shipping. And I scored my board on ebay as well.. didn't save a huge amount on it, but enough to cover taxes and shipping for sure.

macboots Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 hi. great guide man, reaaally helpful. gonna buy a new comp. the thing is that the only mobo i can find in new egg that resembles the GA-P35-DS3L is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813128337 its a GA-EP35-DS3L. i read somewhere that the letter "E" behind the P35 means that its energy efficient, but i'm not sure if there's any other major change that will make this board not compatible with this method. don't know that much about mobos to tell the difference. will it work? also, i'm buying this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814500006 its a geforce 8800 gt 512. i know that now much more ban for the buck would be an ati 4850, but that will not be available for osx86 for a while i guess. is this geforce card a good buy? (dont want to spend more than 180 on card). i want to make a balance in gaming (playing age of conan mostly) and also a really good osx86 compatible system. sorry if this is not the place to ask this, but i read on your guide that these two are the main ingredients for a efficent setup. i'm one click away from making the purchase, just want to make sure. thanks for feedback!
