Hi,
I got mac os x 10.6 installed fine on my laptop. I was just wondering if anyone could help me find compatible kexts. Here is the hardware I need help with.

1. Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset (video card)
2. Chicony 2.0 webcam (internal)
3. Mutlicard reader (on internal pci card bus)
4. Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG wifi card

Thats all for now. Thanks!
Hope you can help. :D

Man - why bother with windoze? You've just installed OS X... Go to System-Profiler and look it up there.

Ok sorry for the long time. Snow leopard doesn't boot without the chameleon disk and the snow leopard disk (do you know how to solve this problem?). I am very happy you came to my assistance because I am a noob hackintosher.

1. Graphics: The wired thing is osx doesn't see it as a intel mobile 965 but as a gma950 which some macbooks have had. here is the device ID: 0x2a02
Other info: (Straight from System Profiler)
Intel GMA 950:

Chipset Model: GMA 950
Type: GPU
Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Total): 64 MB of Shared System Memory
Vendor: Intel (0x8086)
Device ID: 0x2a02
Revision ID: 0x0003
Displays:
Display:
Resolution: 1024 x 768
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes

2. Here is what osx sees my audio card as Intel High Definition Audio. (is there a kext for this?)
Device ID: 0x1179FF50

Sorry for the very long post hope you can help thanks again :D
PS: I am running in 32-bit mode

There is a DSDT Inject for your graphics - you might check out DSDTSE from http://www.osx86.es/ it might help you to edit it. :)
Maybe Mr. SacleoCheater (http://www.infinitemac.com/member.php?u=5942) can also help you with making it to work, as he has been posting prepared driver packages for that card on Leopard in the past...

Well today I read one way to fix my onboard graphics was to update to 10.6.2 from 10.6.0 so I went to system update and after it updated I got a kernel panic from regular boot, verbose boot, safemode boot, and any other boot I could think of. So as you could imagine I am very pissed of right now. I you guys know anything that could help please help. Thank You. I will post if I fix the problem. All I know is that I thought only Atom processors where affected by the 10.6.2 update and I'm using intel core duo 2.

I had the same problem, and I don't know why the system update didn't work for me either... I had 10.6.0 and the software update gave me a kernel panic.

I used Hazard's distro. to upgrade to 10.6.2

But all I can tell you is to reinstall... I hate to tell you that, but that's what I would do. I know how frustrating it can be too
