well some good news
apple has released 10.6 sources
http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-106/
and they include AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext and IOATAFamily.kext, the 2 offending kexts, so hopefully someone who knows what they are doing can find a quick solution.

Many thanks timmyj9

Any luck booting 64 snow? I have been following this thread. ANd Hoping someone figure this out cause without 64 bit I may as well go back to leopard (more compatibility with my software)

has anyone managed to get their cd/dvd drive to work under -x64??

thanks!

hi again,,

anyone who's having the problem where the dvd drive isn't recognised in 64 bit mode should try the kext in this post
