I think this release was a great step forward. if you have problems with it then you should install it manually. I have had no problems with this kernel (yeah 32bit at first but thats an easy fix in the .plist file). I still have the CPUPMDisabler kext even though I know I don't need it (it states in verbose mode that it is found as a bad kext and not loaded). I'm also now using it all via Boot-132 so there are a lot of duplicates by using the System.kext file. I don't really need it though so I'll probably just bypass it.

Gipo - are the kernel panics occurring during the startup time or after you are running Leopard for a while?
