Hi All,

Bit of a would-be novice at this build process. I have installed SL 10.6.3 to the SL partition as defined by the various instructions, given in this forum and used the ThinkPad X61 Pack for this version of SL. I am also using the netkas fakesmc.kext (127K), etc. On first boot, I get a hang in the ACPI_SMC_PlaformPlugin waiting for Service AppleIntelCPUPOwerManagement error, which hangs the system. I have booted with -f also. I have previously delete the Power Management kext as instructed.

I can successfully boot into Single user/ Safe Boot mode but not normal boot. Really could do with some deep dive advice here as I have lost could of the various posted tricks I have tried to get this working.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read and even better if you can guide me forward. At the moment, the 'three foot' drop test looks inviting.

Sean
