Thank you for the reply, I have succesfully installed and booted the OSx3.6 dvd 10.6.5, after removing the firewire entries from the /System/Library/Extensions as before, The new problem I am having is that i cant get any internet access or Graphics to work, I have only attempted to figure out the ethernet, My adapter is a Marvell Yukon 88E804T, no sucess yet, I am hoping that the Osx Tools will find and download any missing drivers i might need once i get online. So about finding out what kernel is booting i can assume that i need to type -v and look for the Darwin kernel number when i boot from dvd, then install the same one under the customize install menu. Would it be easier to buy/borrow a usb wifi sick to initally gain internet access then run the scan hardware and install driver app from osx 86 tools?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated
