Thank you diskeeper... I cleared those from the EXTRA folder.. used kext utility to rebuild cache & a quick hard drive access test on all drives seemed fine... but system profile now shows all 6 channels of Serial-ATA as unknown? Do you think I need to edit the device id I pulled from OSX86tools leopard install and update the ICH9 plist section of IOATAFAMILY.kext -> Plugins -> AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext of SL? Oops just checked and there is no ICH9 section there. Maybe I should pull the updated Netkas AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext & update device id section for ICH9?
