I wish the myHack package developer hadn't started using "chocolate kernel" references. It took me a while to realize that it is just his own personal nickname for the snow.legacy kernel, no other difference.

Anyway, yes you are right if you replace the 10.6.0 mach_kernel with the snow.legacy kernel, you should be able to run SL with AMD and older Intel (like the Pentium D) processors to various degrees.

You should probably post more details about your build, BIOS settings, and pics of kernel panics if you expect to get much help.
