Found out for myself the hard way.
needed to run marvins on frameworks "opengl issue I think"
[cite] solidus23:This is what I get in the Console: 2/24/08 8:01:57 AM com.apple.launchd[99] ([0x0-0x18018].com.apple.finder[193]) Exited abnormally: Segmentation fault
just run marvins on whole system, or if you dont want to do that, run on /system/library/frameworks
start marvins, create patcher package.
check log file for errors, remove any programs from cpuid.txt related to those errors.
place patches folder containing patcher and cpuid,txt on the root of your hard drive,
reboot with -s
mount -uw /
cd to patches folder
./patcher cpuid.txt

You should try to get this made as a main post or sticky, or whatever it is called where it shows up right at the top to the discussions section. There are many others having this same problem I believe
This instruction also solved my problem.
Maybe it should be added in the how-tos of wiki.
