If you have any photos that would make this tutorial better that you would like to offer, I will happily add these along with any additional information you feel is necessary.

Thanks slayer. The only thing that doesn't appear to be working is sleep. I honestly found this out by mistake today when I accidentally clicked the sleep button and it wouldn't come out of it without hitting reset. It's not a feature I will use, but I would like to get it working. I just haven't looked into it yet.

xxxslayeriiixxx, I want to start getting speedstep and native power management working, but I am concerned about just jumping to Airwalk's SL method and using it for Lion. After reading Airwalk's post about power management and comparing it to my tutorial, it appears I need to do the following steps:

1. Downgrade my BIOS to E758_SZ2Z (I've already obtained those but not flashed yet).
2. Remove NullCPUPowerManagement, OpenHaltRestart, and PlatformUUID from /S/L/E folder (I already have the rest of the required kexts in use).
3. Add ssdt-1.aml and ssdt.aml to my /Extras folder.

After that, it gets a bit fuzzy. I'm not sure what to do about the smbios, boot.plist, and dsdt files. I'm currently using Airwalk's DSDT so I should be fine there. The smbios and boot.plist files you included have a lot more stuff in them, but from my minimal understanding, I don't believe it is all necessary. Here is what my files currently have in them and I have included my system specs at the bottom to see if you can help me.

So recently I tried installing SL on my computer again. I installed it from my brother's Hackintosh and then, after booting into the iAtkos L2 boot loader, I was able to actually boot right into SL.

None of my stuff worked. I installed a Realtek kext, and 1 minute later my internet was alive. Then I went and installed Chameleon 2.1 and was able to somehow inject the code for my GTX 560 (which supposedly isn't supported).

I restarted everything and then came back to find out the EFI inject worked (it started at 1920x1080, and loaded the gray Apple screen at 1080) but then it never started. I rebooted with -v and then had this error:

ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin --- something about Realtek RTL8139 (if I'm not mistaken) at the end.

Upon rebooting, my BIOS had been reset.

I keep trying to reinstall SL onto the hard drive using the same method as before, but I keep coming to the same damn KP.

What am I doing wrong here?

No one knows what's going on? I thought for sure that by the time I got back from vacation I'd have an answer and be able to install it again

Dammit! I had it installed again (except that I could not get it to work with my GTX 560) I installed Chameleon 2.1 and after rebooting, I got the most annoying goddamn error ever.

ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start blahblahblah.

FML. I can't properly install Snow Leopard or Lion anymore, and no one knows what's happening.
