Alternately, you can go the DSDT route, if you can find a DSDT for your motherboard. The DSDT route's a lot cleaner.As to copying mach_kernel to the desktop, it may have worked - by default it's hidden (many 10.4.x hackintosh installers un-hid it), so the copy may be on the desktop and simply hidden - you'd probably have to use <strong>ls ~/Desktop</strong> in terminal to verify it's there.

I'm curious as to if I am missing something. I went with the easybeast set up and not the DSDT setup. Not sure if there is a huge difference between the 2 (first-timer). I am running into this issue as well and its getting rather annoying. I am upgraded to the current 10.6.8 version of SL. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
