People I installed Leopard 10.5.2 in my hakintosh (sb450), but when it finished the installation appeared in the boot the menssagem "Still waiting root device", then I put my IOATAFamily.kext in "Extensions.mkext", but don´t work. I think that is UpDate 10.5.2 that be puting IOATAFamily.kext and thi doesn't work for me. Then how I Unpack the "Archive.pax.gz" inside .pkg UPDATE 10.5.2 and after pack again for me to put him mine .kext?

Field Note #1 @monsieur.d 2008-02-25

You should put IOATAFamily.kext in the Extensions folder, not Extensions.mkext.

I am not sure if you made a mistake in the copy procedure or in your post, but make sure you copy the file into the correct folder and then
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext
rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
Field Note #2 @zephyroth 2008-02-26

You must use PakageMaker to recreate the .pkg.
It's a part of XCode Tools.
