Figuring out whats missing the most difficult part of this project! Hell, im on the verge of throwing away my plans for vanilla/retail and say screw it, just CarbonCopy my current partition on the SATA drive! Ahh, so frustrating!

Precisely why I am trying to run it, it would make life so much easier! I am able to see the EFI partition on the GUID drive, but am unsure if everything is set up properly (Used munky-efi method). I shall try again, this time ill erase the AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext and see if it boots.

Another problem I noticed i'm having is that im unsure what chipsets I have. Up untill now, I thought I had nForce Sata controller, but almost all the modern distros have the kext for that, yet they dont work... Kalyway 10.5.1 also has the kext, but that one actually works. Also, when running the Hardware update from OSX86 tools, apparently I have JMicron as well, but what is that for? I honestly have NO idea what I need anymore! Can anyone help me out?

You would need to know exactly what hardware you have so you can choose!
The available AppleNForceATA.kext doesnt support most of the newer SATA Controllers, so you would have to run them in AHCI mode to make them work. Kalyway most likely make it work with GenericPCATA.kext that works with any SATA chipset but its performance its horrible.
JMicron is often used in many motherboard as a secondary SATA/IDE Controller to add more SATA ports (usually with a different physical color on the mb) or add IDE ports when the main storage chipset doesnt have any.

Well the problem is in my BIOS, theres no such thing as "AHCI" for SATA ports, the only option is enabled or disabled. I checked the kext by MeDevil and my PCI ID was on the list of supported... so im thinking I would need to inject the newest edition of that kext into the ISO's, but I could be wrong. Is there a database to cross reference the hardware and the PCI-ID, I know of one but it tends to become quite inaccurate... is there any software?

I'm not sure what you mean with database, lspci command line tool does it on Linux.
On Windows something like Everest would let you identify most of the hardware but if you already know your SATA device id is supported it should work without modifications.

althought don't want to create new thread so post there.

Since source chameleon 2 and netkas PCI EFI v10 available anyone trying to vuild them?

i don't like some default setting /i386/libsaio/smbios_patcher.c
exactly
static int sm_get_memspeed (char *name, int table_num)
{
return 667;
}

of course I known about smbios.plist but dmi+smbios.plist is It strange?

type make in leopard but receive files with wrong size.
Any ideas?thanks
