So I went through the process of install SL on a second partition on my drive. I got the system up and running, but within about 30-seconds I get a kernel panic:
panic(cpu 6 caller 0x2a6ac2): Kernel trap at 0x0027a435, type 14=page fault, registers:
(here enters a slew of numbers)
error code: 0x00000003 |
This has happened on several boots and the numbers do change. This is also booting into SL with "-v -x32".
Not exactly sure where the problem is yet. I can't find anyone who has posted a successful install of SL on the GA-EX58-UD4P motherboard. Maybe in a few more weeks there will be an instruction guide.
I've got SL installed on an EX58-UD3R, if that helps. A couple of things on your KP's: First, did you follow Step 10 in the Guide Bladerunner linked? It's important to add all your drives to the Privacy section of Spotlight immediately after your first boot to avert a KP caused by Spotlight's indexing service, mdworker. Once you've run kextutility after and rebooted, you can restore Spotlight's privacy settings as you please without KP's. Aso, after many hours of trial and error, I found that if I rebuilt my SL mkext file (using MKextTool) from within Leo
before booting into SL, it solved my KP problems. If necessary, you can also try deleting the Caches folders from your SL /L and S/L folders. And, back to Spotlight, you can also add your drives to Spotlight's privacy section in Leo before you boot into SL and the setting will hold for SL, thereby avoiding the mdworker KP's. But, in any event, always run kextutility in SL once you get there and reboot.
A couple of bonus tips: The LegacyHDA.kext in the SL Pack (which you can download from the referenced guide) works for the EX58-UD3R, so it might for your board, too. Just put it in your E/E folder, run kextutility and reboot. Ethernet has been more troublesome. A patched (and revised) DSDT file doesn't seem to do the trick. Only by installing the RealtekR1000.kext into S/L/E did I get ethernet -- and then only in 32-bit mode. Don't know anyone yet who has got 64-bit ethernet on the Gigabyte EX58 boards. If you find out anything, I'd appreciate your posting it.
Good luck!
