In order to verify:

You are sure that you have NOT been using the -legacy flag, when taking that screenshot?

(org.chameleon.boot.plist etc)

Nothing else has been expected - I have written in my previous post, that it won't work.

The only idea behind this test was to see if it would boot furhter than "BSD root: blaba" - so we would have some clue, where work on this could be started.

since it has not been applied into the 10.x.x legacy kernel yet
Sorry, but I do not realy understand what you are talking about here...

On previous versions of OS X there has not been any essential software that has been using that SIMD extensions, only stuff like QTX etc...

launchd is the most basic process required for OS X to work.
If my assumption is right, then there will be only two ways for the old AMD & Intel Netburst to boot non-legacy, either emulating the unsupported instructions in the Kernel or making a patch for the concerned software...

AMD FX 4100
MSI 760GM-P23
Radeon HD6570
OS X Lion Retail 10.7.5
Lion Kernel Project
