I think a good solution to this might be to copy the mach_kernel.voodoo over to the root directory twice (once as mach_kernel.voodoo and again as mach_kernel)... or we could just edit the com.apple.Boot.plist... but doesn't Apple also update this file? I didn't think they did because on my Macbook I still have the original date of when I installed Leopard to it for the date on that file.

But again, just to point out to the VMWare users, rename to mach_kernel to not get faults and freezes.

I also think that continuing to use Zephyroth's ASU will prove to help distribute the breakdown of the patching so we don't have to solely rely on the kernel... but the option is always there for an "Intel Installation" :-)
