You mean Kext not Text i presume?
The best option is to use no kexts during the installation cause they very often dont install properly causing problems. Try to install it without any drivers, just make sure u select driver for your chipset, or else you wont be able to use the system. Then after you succeed with installation, you can add proper kexts. www.ultimae.com Panoramic music, for panoramic people.

yes you are right, kext and not text....sorry. but this is my problem. i do make an install with zeph or any distro based on it, or leo. i do succeed. but wen i installed the kext i think is right, i messe my installation each time. this is the reason why im reaching some help...maybe someone had a almost 100% working osx 10.5.6 with the close enought system like mine, that could help me decide with kext to install. im very sorry for my bad english and i hope its good enought so understanablefor everyone.

Ok, i get it now
 But what kext exactly breaks your system ? If it breaks, after the installation - does removing it and copying the backup one solve the problem ? If so, try to install them one by one and we`ll see which one is causing problems, so it`ll be possible to think of any solution www.ultimae.com Panoramic music, for panoramic people.

Re, the graphics, if you go into System Profiler and look up the graphics card, what do you get for Core Image and Quartz Extreme? If you get Hardware Accelerated and Supported respectively then you don't need to do anything further with your graphics (as I suspect will be the case). I have a 9800GT card and it runs just fine without installing any new kext's, I simply need to add the string to the EFI section.
Sorry, I don't know about the wireless. In my case I knew that the wireless card I had was not supported, but the built in wired was so I went out and bought a pair of Devolo Home Plug wired network points
