I'm currently on a Compaq Sr5350F Pentium Dual Core running Snow Leopard, vanilla kerner (dual boot with Windows) and am thinking of upgrading it to Lion using the retail app store method.

These are the kexts I have installed to get it working properly:
Extra
AppleACPIPS2nub 1.0.0d1
AppleIntelPIIXATA2 9.9
Disabler 1.0.1
EvOreboot 1.0.3
FakeSMC 3.1.0
IntelCPUMonitor 1.0
LegacyAppleRTC 9.9
SleepEnabler
VoodooPS2Controller 1.1.0

S/L/E
VoodooPState 1.0.4
AppleAzaliaAudio 1.0.0 (32bit only)
AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer 5.3.0 (32bit only)
AppleIntelGMA950 6.2.6 (32bit only)

If I install Lion over my present installation, will I have any problems? Are there any kexts I need to remove or update?
