i want to install vanilla kernel from apple, my question is where do i get it?

i had 10.5.6 ComboUpd but don't know which files needs fro it, i know about mach_kernel, system.kext, but what else? dunno.
besides i'll find out if my build supports Vanilla kernel, but i think that will be a test, try approach…

if someone knows how or what trick to do to install Vanilla kernel? and the files, please?

Right now i will try extracting mach_kernel, mach_kernel.ctfsys, system.kext from the update i try with that. Not so sure why i'll get after installing

i tried that, and didn't work at all, when boot with mach_kernel after load all the kexts goes into blank(black but it seems like no sendin any graphic signals) screen, and hangs... so, must be other way or maybe my hardware spces are not compatible with vanilla kernel

You are all right man !

All you need is to restore mach_kernel and sytem.kext, to be sure restore also seatbelt.kext !
Everything should be fine. (Take care to apply the good authorisation to your files)

Bye.
