Will do, thanks!

In the eventuality of having different kexts with same name, is it ok for me to rename one of them, will it still load?

Is there a difference between repairing permissions terminal vs disk utils?

I think disk util reapir and commandline repair does the same.

I read about this Chameleon /Extensions problem here and some solution by an added subfolder.
But i dont understand it really, because i dont know how Chameleon exact works (whats loaded from where when )

Scroll down to part of Chameleon install for that ??? about added
sudo mkdir /Extra/AdditionalExtensions folder (for the kexts)

danke Mitch.

So I installed SL on the partition.

Couldnt help myself and slapped RC2 over RC1. didnt change boot file, Leo install is intact, absolutely no change at all.

In RC1 (and now RC2)
I have never ever felt any difference between having dsdt.aml in Extra folder or in root. I dont even know how how to tell if it doing something or not, I dont think so because I had to string video + kexts, broadcom is 3rd party with kext, ethernet with kext, sd card with kext, BUT bluetooth out the box, and my strange multimedia controller works for audio and the rest of the buttons controll Front Row! Please click on my signature (has picture too) to see it - This is confusing me so much.

in SL:

Installed to blank partition within Leo via OSinstall.mpkg. Didnt reboot. Got latest disabler and dsmos into S/L/E, repaired permissions with disk utils, and it took like 2 second to complete. Will try now with terminal. Copied my Leo's dsdt.aml onto SnowLeo/Extra as it is supposed to be, and the new RC2 boot file from netkas (10.1) which is supposed to be better, but nothing ever changes, cannot boot to Snow whatever flag I choose. Getting KP from "unknown kernel", and its the KP that start with,
Code:

cpu(0) backtrace bla bla  0FFFFFFFFFFx2 whatever
- (took pic, but can upload right now) Anyway, very common, seen it tons before but dont know what gives...



I managed to boot "fine" with 10A380 -
