Weird mkext issue, seeking to clarify best placement of specific kexts

I'm getting this strange issue where if I make an extensions.mkext for /Extra/Extensions I get a kernel panic at boot. so basically I have to not have one there at all. also it seems to boot significantly faster with no extensions.mkext in /System/Library for /System/Library/Extensions most of the time.. which is backwards to what I thought it was, that the mkext makes things faster

so just to make sure, with Chameleon RC3 and netkas PC EFI 10.5

  • ALL custom kexts like nullcpu, fasesmc, disabler and so forth go in /Extra/Extensions ? or do some only go in System/Library/Extensions and others go in /Extra/Extensions, and if so, what specifically goes where?
  • dsdt.aml goes in / (root) and with chameleon rc3 i just place it there, i don't do anything special to make sure it is used.. right?
  • smbios.plist goes in /Extra and is automatically used just by being there.

am i understanding this correctly?

also, when I had smbios.plist in /Extra/Extensions it booted fine considering the rest was ok, but when i put smbios.plist in /Extra it took damn near forver to load
