Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents about the kernel. In the new update a new kernel is installed. What I have always done to protect myself from having the working kernel wiped was; I renamed the mach_kernel to another name such as legacy_kernel, then in the com.boot.plist file located in the extra folder I entered the following.
This makes it so if you ever install an update your custom kernel will never get overwritten with the new vanilla one provided by apple and the system will always use it.

Hi all

SL 10.6.2 with Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT (10de:0402) works fine.

Installing 10.6.3 the WindowServer loops at 100% and the screen keeps blank. Even booting in safe mode. Just replace /S/L/E/ NVD* and GeForce* with the older one, brings up the GUI, but without CI/QE.

I found out, that A**le removed the GeForce8xxxGLDriver.bundle and add new GeForceGLDriver.bundle.

But why this doesn't works with the 8xxx Series here?

Tom

BTW: I need to disable VoodooHDA, because that crashs the new kernel. Works fine with 10.6.2.

works perfectly for me, with the 10.3.0 kernel from this thread:
