Dell Eimension e310 boot issues, kernel panic

Okay, Ive been at this for days, I took my wife's old Dell e310 ( specs @ reviews.cn et.com/desktops/dell-dimension-e310-desktop/1707-3118_7-31594474.html ) and I installed Leopard on it to start some iPhone development. Well I have since learned that I really need snow leopard for the new xcode framework. So ive spent the past week…

well, i fixed that, i swear every time i post a problem, thats when i find the answer, i needed the p4 kernel, which you guys may know,

anyway, the problem now is the notorious: "waiting for root device" error, on snow im not sure how to fix with my hardware, where can i find the correct kext for my sata driver (from what ive read this is my issue)

and honestly, how do i fix this kext? i have access to my leopard install for the work, i just want to make sure i put it in the right place as i see theres a few places for kexts (/extras & /library... )

thanks for any help, and once i post this ill probably fix it, because thats the way it goes

... also, i did try it, i think i screwed with my kexts soo much i probably need to reinstall to clean it all up

thanks for any help!
