• Navigate to /Extra/Preboot.dmg
  
• Mount Preboot dmg
  
• Navigate to /Extra/mach_kernel
  
• Drag mach_kernel to desktop.
  
• Download and run ShowAllFiles   to reveal hidden files in the Finder.
  
• Navigate to your Snow Leopard hard drive.
  
• Delete the existing mach_kernel
  
• Drag mach_kernel from desktop to your Snow Leopard hard   drive.
