These kexts I need for my hardware in Leopard. Will they work in Snow Leo, too? Interesting would be AppleThermal.kext. It only worked on 10.5.3, but if it was loaded my CPU is staying about 6°C/43°F cooler than as in 10.5.6.

yesy my system work without chipset driver, i use AHCI mode for my SATA HDD n my external HDD us using usb.
i have try to install it on my IDE HDD and is work with AppleNforceATA.kext... i try to place it in E/E or S/L/E working on both place.. i have not try the apple AC9, nForceLan, skge.kext because i dont use that kext.. but may be is working because in 32 bit mode u can use kext from leopard..

hope its help...

I'm using these two on SL for my Asus A8N-E:
AppleAC97Audio.kext
AppleNForceATA.kext

As I can remember system won't boot without chipset driver.

AppleAC97Audio.kext-> You can easily find a 64bit version of voodoohda.kext which is working fine on snow 32/ 64 bit for me.Try it out if you can and tell us if it does the job!
AppleNForceATA.kext-> As far as I know,there is no 64 bit kext for snow till now, so I'm using this leopard kext: http://darwin-ata.googlecode.com/fil...NTESTED%29.zip which is working fine with my system on snow 32bit only.
nForceLAN.kext-> Here you will find nforcelan.kext for snow 32/64! http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=125569

Well I seem to have got past the AppleACPIPCI issues, but it still shuts down.

The issue seems to be this:

/dev/disk1s4: Can't initialize disk cache

I have tried booting into single user mode and it gives me the same error if I try to run fsck manually.

If I boot into Leopard it can run fsck_hfs -f over that that volume without an error.

have u try this:

boot -s
Remount the root filesystem read-write: (mount -uw /)
Set the ownership on your filesystem root and extensions and create your mkext archives:

Code:

chown 0:0 /
chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions
chown -R 0:0 /Extra/Extensions  

kextcache -v 1 -t -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions

Thanks, this has helped me somewhat - if I use the -s I can get into Snow Leopard as I can bypass the fsck and mount the root drive.

However, if I let it boot normally (or try fsck from the terminal) I still get the "Can't initialize disk cache" error!

the problem is the amd legacy kernel from modbin for snow leopard doen't have a on fly cpuids patch like voodoo based kermel so we need to do a cpuids patch.
u can use a Marvin's AMD Utilities to do this patch.
for Fix some problem u can run a cpuid patch on :

iTunes

Code:

/System/Library/QuickTime/
and 
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/

Spotlight

Code:

/System/Library/PreferencePanes/Spotlight.prefPane

Can anyone tell me how to do it?? I have problem with iTunes and i can't fix it, because i don't know how to use AMD patcher.

Thanks

Hey, i tried ur method :::
the problem with me is the kernel panic. with Mobdin test7 kernel

my Rig is.

AMD Phenom 2.6 GHz 9950BE
2GB Corsair Ram DDR 800
n Biostar TA790GXB A2+ v6.0 ( SB 750 and ALC662 ) -
Nvidia 8600GT 512 ( Working with injectors provided in 10.5.4 Disc ).
Everything working 100% in leopard ( LawlessPPC 10.5.4 patched with SB700 Kexts by me, updated yo 10.5.8 ), Even ALC662 works 100% .. shows in System profiler .. n all ..

For SL. ------- DSTC Patcher causes error . do i use Force compilation, * this is the only exception.
I just want to know if Mobdin Test7 kernel supports AMD ( specially mine one ). and m also using the GM Build.

m also available most of the time on
irc.osx86.hu – in #hackint0sh and #snowleopard.
me also trying the GM build, same as yours.

Thanks in advance.
