booting with -v -F still crashes, -v -f works till BSD Root is mounted, the the booting process stops. It also crashes before entering single user mode. What does the -f boot flag do?

For updating to 10.5.5 I used the Combo Update patched which Zephyroth's external AMD patcher, not ASU. This deletes automatically some files from the package, like mach.kernel, System.kext and so on. BTW: I never got an actual mach_kernel.ctfsys file, it's still from 9.3.0 kernel. Is there a newer version out there?

Do I need some other newer files, like AppleSMBIOS.kext and AppleSMBIOSEFI.kext from Chun-Nan? It's listed in the 9.5 kernel docs, I found somewhere a compiled version, but don't know if it's a real working version because the system doesn't show any changes.

It's a bit frustrating the last time, since Leo4All v3 no good images, I can't use Quicktime 7.5.5 because it's too slow and the X1600 graphics drivers are still from 10.5.2. And I have the feeling that ATI is left behind, only nVidia is getting support. Is there a way to insert an EFI string for the X1600 or something like this?
