A big thanx to Andy and all of the people included in this project. Kernel is excelent.

Almoust a year ago I gave up from SL on my AMD machine (GA MA-790X UD4P, AMD Phenom II X2 550, 8 Gb DDR2 667 RAM, ATI HD 3850), but I gave it a try few days ago and it was a succsses

I installed 10.6.3 SL from .dmg on my 10.5.6 installation, put a few kexts in S/L/E and E/E folders, dsdt, newest chameleon, and PCI EFI and this kernel, and I'm able to boot in safe mode. Updated to 10.6.5 and I'm stuck again with safe mode (I guess due to VGA).

There are few more problems that are not related with the kernel that I need to solve:
1. BIOS resets - DSDT needs RTC patching (shouldn't be a problem).
2. USB mass storage devices not working, although USB mouse works perfectly (a saw a fix floating around OSX86 forums)
3. Audio doesnt work on Realtek ALC889A (there are a lot of kexts, I need to tryout)
4. Upon start up I need to plug out and plug in PS2 keyboard in order to work.
5. My VGA doesnt work with QE/CI in SL, will have to buy a new one. I can only boot to safe mode, upon the normal boot I get stuck with a black screen.

I have a question about the kernel:
I installed it after 10.6.5 combo update froma pkg installer.
What do I need to patch and how?
I was out of a OSX86 SL for a while, I'm a bit rusty

Andy, good luck with developing a on the fly patcher for the kernel
