P-6831/6860FX Snow Leo 10.6.2 Hackint0sh guide

Took me a little while to finish this I had some family issues. Anyways here it is my P-6831/6860FX Snow Leo 10.6.2 Hackint0sh guide (Aside from eSATA, Intel Wifi, internal mic and proper shutdown these are not currently working):

* To start I used Conti's Myhack USB installer on a 16GB flash drive from a restored dmg image of 10.6 using disk utility, this is by far the most current, and thorough method that I have used. It allows for an all-digital install which virtually eliminates the possibility of burn errors or faulty media. It also uses the latest Chameleon (RC3). Heres the link-
http://osx86.sojugarden.com
here are the options I chose in myhack:
* com.apple.Boot.plist
* GraphicsEnabler - Adds GraphicsEnabler = Y to com.apple.Boot.plist for Full QE/CI Support
* AHCIPortinjector.kext
* AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext & IOATAFamily.kext
* PS2Controller
* FakeSMC.kext
* JMicronATA.kext
* LegacyAppleRTC.kext
* NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
* OpenHaltRestart.kext
* PlatformUUID.kext
* Sleepenabler.kext

* Installed ATools_Snow.pkg extracted From the SnowOsx leopard Universal v3.6 (10.6.2) distro from dan1234. It has a ton of useful utilities and kexts . You can probably find ATools pkg if you do a bit of googling but i already had the distro. You can find the iso here-

* I used this guide along with the standalone combo update to upgrade to 10.6.2-

*** I deleted Sleepenabler.kext (after update but before boot-up from another computer running windows 7 with Macdrive 8)
* For sound (FINALLY!) I used Gilgamesh's and chadp1a's recompiled DSDT along with chadp1a's AppleHDA.kext found here- http://www.infinitemac.com/attachmen...7&d=1260141640 and here http://www.mediafire.com/?twheytziwho

* To enable HDMI without screen freezing i used NVDANV50Hal.kext & NVDAResman.kext from 10.6.1 found here-

* To fix the memory read error in system profiler i used SMBIOSResolver.kext found in ATools

* I used EvOSpeedStep.kext, EvOreboot.kext and VoodooBattery.kext all from ATools

* This is a semi-fix/workaround i used for the webcam
install CamTwist 2.1 found here- http://allocinit.com/images/b/b6/CamTwist-2.1.dmg
Launch the Program
In preferences > video devices force the resolution to 320x240 on the "USB 2.0 camera"
In the box Step 1: Choose a video source, double click "Webcam"
Select nothing else, at least for now (unless you want effects)
Keep the program open, and relaunch Skype (for example) in skypes preferences > video
Instead of choosing "USB 2.0 camera" as the camera (can't, because it is in use by CamTwist) - choose "CamTwist"

*****Ok thats my install. If anyone has any ideas, questions, or possible solutions to eSATA, IntelWifi, internal mic and proper shutdown, please post them. I'm looking forward to hearing everyones feedback.
