My hackintosh:
MB: P5B, dual core @3Ghz E6850, 4Gb Ram, nVidia GeForce 8600GT

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). out, I have no clue what to do or how to fix it. Thanks for reading this message.

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

IF YOU HAVE THE DUAL BOOT (MAC OSX/WINDOWS)
use MacDrive

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.
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?

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.
