Finally getting around to installing SL on my machine and read the whole thread (thx!) and installed to a dedicated 500 GB drive.
I copied my gfxstring from leopard, created the dsdt file, followed the other recommendations.
It KP's and locks just after chameleon menu and into the console display of cpu. No logs or crash logs created , and tried booting with -X like tacom8 recommended about 4 times, with no change. Also tried to boot in 32 bit mode with no change. Really unsure what is up here. Ideas? I'm bleary-eyed from reading posts to see if anyone had anything similar but haven't found much to progress here
Note I am ONLY using gfxstrings, with no gfx injectors. Is this required to get it working?
System config as follows:
Chimera - Homebrew - Win7 / Mac OSX 10.5.5 - JaS release | Intel Core 2 Duo 3ghz (E8400) | 2G Corsair DDR2 800MHz | LG DVD+-RW Pata | Seagate 1TB Sata | Seagate 500GB Sata | WD 1TB Sata | Asus P5E-VM HDMI w/ Intel G35 Intel ICH9R | Atheros L1 PCI-E Gigabit LAN | BFG GeForce 9800GTX OC | 12xUSB 2.0 | Realtek ALC 883 | IEEE1384 : Replaced with LINK | Vanilla Kernel | Cooler Master Case | Edirol UA-25EX | Novation 25SL MkII | AkaiPro APC40
Thanks for any ideas you may offer.

*EDIT: Day 4 of poking around. Still no change - even attempted multiple DSDT configs as well as putting DSDT=nothing.aml at boot. Wish I had a guru local to me as I'm sure this is a really stupid issue.
