Ok...

So I finally got my hands dirty and installed Snow on my laptop.

Followed the instructions in this forum, line by line, dint't work. KP here and there.

I tried PC EFI 9 and 10.

Nothing worked. I tried booting with multiple flags, until finally, out of the blue I managed to get into Snow.

The absolute first thing I did was to run the DSDT Patcher GUI. This is because I patched from another hachintosh that is a Core Duo and my new laptop is Core 2 Duo. So to better the compatibility, I ran the patcher from within Snow.

Kernel Panic in verbose! No kernel panic with -v -f

Without -f I get ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin error and boot stalls.
With -f (or after I deleted it by accident) - it says "timed out" and boot ok !

With -f, I am able to boot but the system is slow and laggy. Rams are 667 not 1066. Shut down does not go all the way, displaying

CPU Halt

Waiting for AppleUSBUIHC (or something really similar)

Upon messing about, I removed the dsdt.aml from the root and bingo, boots up fine with -f flag and system shuts down ok and ram speeds are ok. Dont know if it will boot without -f because I deleted ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext and thought I had backed it up when I didnt. So nomal boot will hang when it is supposed to load. Anyone mind posting it for me please? Should be in S/L/E

Whats up with this? Why is the DSDT Patcher making my system slower, non shutdown etc...?

Also, quick question too... I have a Nvidia 9600m GT, shouldnt Snow pick up? Do I need kexts for it?
