Hello folks,
My hackintosh:
MB: P5B, dual core @3Ghz E6850, 4Gb Ram, nVidia GeForce 8600GT
I have successfully installed 10.6. on my hackintosh using Psystar bootloader and original SL disk.
Everything went fine, all things worked fine and installed tons of apps.
I used it for about 4 months without problems and yesterday after upgrading to 10.6.4. I got the following screen over and over (see attached). Please help me out, I have no clue what to do or how to fix it. Thanks for reading this message.

the first line says "version mis-match between kernel and cpu", so i think you should try another kernel, maybe the one that used to work for you before the update. 10.4 update installs a new kernel, so maybe that's the problem.

Thank you for your reply. That means with the 10.6.4 MAC updated the kerne, is that correct? I never messed around with boot/kernel files so I am not sure what I am doing... :( What should I do or install another kernel, please?
I have read some posts that with 10.6.2 update, MAC cut out some drivers so that Atom processors could be used. So further, I am guessing only that with 10.6.4 MAC cut out perhaps all CPU's support other that the ones they are using. If that is the case, what is the fix?

I have replaced the sleepenabler.kext as per advice from insanelymac and now it works and boots just fine.
Hopefully the next will help others too:
delete the sleepenabler
BOOT FROM DVD INSTALL(TERMINAL)
DELETE KEXT
cd /Volumes/YOUR-VOLUME-NAME/System/Library/Extensions
rm -rf sleepenabler.kext
MOVE KEXT
mv /Volumes/PARTITION NAME/System/Library/Extensions/sleepenabler.kext /Volumes/PARTITION NAME/FOLDER
pmVersion=0 (Disable SleepEnabler)
pmVersion=17 (10.6.0/1)
pmVersion=18 (10.6.2)
pmVersion=19 (10.6.3)
pmVersion=20 (10.6.4)

IF YOU HAVE THE DUAL BOOT (MAC OSX/WINDOWS)
use MacDrive
delete the kext
reboot with -f -v

Hello!
I had OSX 10.6 working fine, but after I upgraded to 10.6.4, I got this problem with sleepenabler and kernel panic. Then, I installed the new sleepenabler and I had no more kernel panic, but the system freezes at the gray screen.
When I booted with -V, I got this screen:

Seems to be something about the sleepenabler yet. Does anyone have any idea what is happening?
When I boot with -x, OSX loads normaly and everything works ok.
By the way, the sound is not working anymore, too. Any help?
System:
Asus P5K - Premium
4Gb RAM
GForce 8800GS
AD1988B audio
Tks!

Just to let you know, I solved it. Well, I don't know exactly what I did, but after repair permisions and change some kexts (can't remember wich ones) everything finally worked.
