The F6 DSDT for that mobo has been in the DSDT database for quite a while. http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2009/12/dsdt-database-for-p55-motherboards.html You don't need all those kext files though, I have the same board and using the DSDT from the link I posted my /Extra/Extensions folder has:
fakesmc.kext
JMicronATA.kext
NVEnabler64.kext

I have the "GraphicsEnabler = yes" string in my com.apple.Boot.plist

Of course the beta comes out while I'm on vacation

Anyone try this out yet? If you do, extract a vanilla DSDT so I can check it out while I'm away.

There is an update for the GA-P55-UD3R; F7b. I extracted and compiled a new DSDT.aml and unlike v. F6 which had issues (QE/CI was choppy ie. dock magnification) this new bios update seems to work flawlessly. Sleep, SS, USB, SATA, and HPET all tested and working. In fact, GB64 score increased 200 pts.

Hello,

I extracted from my brand-new Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD7 the newest stable Bios F4 into a DSDT file. After that I repaired the errors and added the necessary hacks. At last I Compiled the DSL into the AML

The error were:

• Must return a value (_WAK) => I added a "Return(Package(0x02){Zero, Zero})" at the end of the _WAK methode around 277
  Method local variable is not initialized (Local0) => I replaced the Store (Local0, Local0) with the GigaByte solution Store ("Local0", Local0)

Here are the Hack's I inserted:

• Method DGTP
  RTC Fix
  HDA 889 hack #1
  Snow Leopard CMOS Hack
  SBUS Hack

The following hack's I did not do:

• HPET Fix was not needed (allready extracted OK)
  SATA Hack not needed? Is working fine though
  UHCI/EHCI not done (insure where to do this)

My Hackintosh is working fine but maybe you guys with the same board can also run some tests. I will include the necessary files in this mail.

Cheers, Erwin

Well,.... it seems my installation worked not the way I thought...

I installed my Hackintosh with iBootCD... that work's fine,
but it could be I do not use the DSDT.AML I made because now I see I am using a preboot.dmg from the iBootcd...After I made some changes in the residing com.apple.boot.plist in order to boot in 64-bit mode, my hackintosh did not start up at all anymore...

So I am not sure whether it works ok or not (but it still might be fine though )

Can anyone confirm my DSDT.AML working ?

Hey Bansaku, where can I pickup your compiled aml? Should I manually do it myself?

Correction, found it in Aden's post. Please ignore.

Gigabyte P55 BIOS Updates - 2010-05

GA-P55M-UD2

F9 2010/05/07

1. Fix system can not shutdown if disabled USB controller

Anyone get any extra info on this?

DSDT didn't change for F9 since F9i, but my videocard DSDT hack is broken for some reason now. GraphicsEnabler works fine though. Oh well.
Here's the dsdt I use now(note that it has SSDT info for i5-750 CPU at the end. Don't use it if you have a different CPU — replace with appropriate or remove it).
