We could try downloading the 9.5.0 Voodoo kernel from their website, placing it on a usb thumb drive and install it on your machine.

Getting the Kernel
Voodoo Website: http://code.google.com/p/xnu-dev/
This is a DMG so you are going to want to copy the mach_kernel to the root of you thumb drive. If you do not have a mac to open the DMG, I have downloaded it and repackaged it into a ZIP file and uploaded it here: http://rapidshare.com/files/218278593/Voodoo.zip
I would recommend making sure the USB drive's label is one word with no spaces

Installing the kernel
So now you have the kernel on a thumb drive. Plug the drive in and boot your install disk. Open Disk Utility to see where your USB drive's partition is mounted. Should be listed under "Mount Point". It is generally /volumes/YOURDRIVESLABEL Now open Terminal and follow the commands below.

2. Copy the new kernel from your USB thumb drive to the root directory. Replace "usbdrive" with your drive's label. Replace "osx" with your hard drive's label.
Code:
cp -r /Volumes/usbdrive/mach_kernel /Volumes/osx/mach_kernel
3. Correct ownership for all kernels. Replace "osx" with your hard drive's label.
Code:
chown root:wheel /Volumes/osx/mach_kernel*
4. Correct permissions for all kernels. Replace "osx" with your hard drive's label.
Code:
chmod 644 /Volumes/osx/mach_kernel*
If you have spaces in drive names like /Volumes/my drive with spaces/ you have two options. One is quotes and the other is to strike them.
1. Using quotes:
Code:
/Volumes/"my drive with spaces"/
2. Striking them using \:
Code:
/Volumes/my\ drive\ with\ spaces/
