Okay, i did so many Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard Hackintoshes and i NEVER got that problem Waiting for DSMOS.

BUT ... on friday i bought a Zotac ION board with Atom 330, installation went fine but then, i couldn't believe it.
3 minutes boot time because after Waiting for DSMOS the computer seemed to be frozen. After 2.36 minutes of doing nothing, suddenly my "MacMidi" boots obliviously and straight into Snow Leopard. so i tried everything, changed dsmos.kext to fakesmc.kext, combinations of some kext with others, disabler, nullcpumanagement, etc. ... but still the same. Waiting for DSMOS for one and a half minute.

the problem is, i did two things at the same time

1.) i installed the developer tools from the retail cd (okay, it's just a package of software but it includes a couple of kexts)

2.) i had a look in my /Extra/Extensions folder because i wanted to check all the kexts with kextutil

when i did that in terminal, i got a message "can't create kext cache on / - owner is not root"
knowing there has to be kext caches available because darwin/chameleon told me of loading Extensions.mkext at startup
i went into the /System/Library/Caches folder, Extensions.mkext was there and /Extra/Extensions.mkext was there too

so i did in terminal "sudo chown root:wheel /" and restarted

henceforward that crappy 1,67 ghz atom cpu boots the snow leo in under 27 seconds

please try and repost
