I will try to explain one more time:

1. Create Back-Ups of your old Kernel & Extensions:
Code:
sudo -s
cp /mach_kernel /bak_kernel
cp -R /System/Library/Extensions /ext_bak
2. Ensure to have a Disabler beeing installed - i.e. Disabler.kext or NullCPUPowermanagment.kext - there are even patched Kernels with integrated Disabler, but it doesn't hurt your System to have both.

3. Download and apply the Update & reboot

4. Boot your System using "/bak_kernel -v" on the bootprompt.

5. Delete new Vanilla Kernel and replace it with your legacy kernel:
Code:
sudo -s
rm /mach_kernel
mv /bak_kernel /mach_kernel
I have no problem using 10.6.3 with 10.2.0 XNU & 10.6.3 System.kext - so I wouldn't copy over old Kernel Extensions until you expire different.

6. You might want to reinstall old AppleHDA kext if you had been using it but lost Sound with the update.

7. Use Marvin's AMD Utility - create a CPUID text file using Patcher Package option, for /System/Library folder - exclude any Kernel Extensions & encrypted files (find them in decrypt folder) from the text file - save the text file under a different name & patch CPUIDs by dissabling simulation mode - AMD Utility will succed but crash - Kill it using Apple Menu option and reboot.

8. If any other problems occur try to repair permissions for /S/L/E and delete /System/Library/Chaches/com.apple.kext.chaches
