yepp, it will work - just at the boot prompt boot with .backup not _old suffix - and the same goes with changing the permissions. Oh, and / folder is Your root folder. "cd /" and You're there =)

As for the newer distros - it's easy to fix that. Copy AppleVIA / AppleVIAATA kexts from Your existing installation to any USB flash. Install the system, then start installer again, open terminal and copy them from USB to /System/Library/Extensions, then repair permissions and boot with -f.
