Hi Imkantus,
My congrats to the entire team who worked so hard in making this kernel for us AMD peeps. I have an AMD Phenom x955 on a Gigabite ga-ma785gnt-ud2h motherboard.

I will say that previous legacy kernels didn't work for me at all, and this is the first one to do so, probably because of the fsb detection. So now the
legacy kernel is usable on the Phenom II platform.

3 noticeable things, and ones which however still make me revert back to black knight's 10.3.0 kernel:

1. I spent 10 re-installs to get everything back up again, because it appears that with this kernel there is no way to use a USB modem (like a cell phone
which is what I use for internet access) to connect to the internet with. Whenever I use this kernel in combonation with any data card (I've tested with
a Huawei modem and a pantech one), I get a message telling me that the connection failed. No matter what I do I can't use a USB datacard/modem for the
internet.

When using 10.6.4 with Black Knight's 10.3.0 kernel, however, the USB modem works fine.

2. Cache detection doesn't work for me. At all-System profiler does not show my caches whereas with Black Knight's kernel it does.

3. This is just a suggestion, but I see that the kernel edits chemelion to use legacy_kernel instead of mach_kernel . Wouldn't it be more practical to just
back up the mach_kernel and use that instead of a legacy_kernel file?

Thanks for everything, and keep up the great work!

All the best,
Tomi
