I am trying to figure out what kexts are required to run my system.

Sys Specs:

Asus P5KPL-CM

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

Asus EN9600 GSO

Kingston 2x 2GB DDR2

 

Hello and welcome

 

Firstly you need to check whether your board can support AHCI mode in bios. Asus kind of fell out with Intel and disabled this feature on some P5 boards such as the P5KPL-C/1600. You can crossflash the bios with one from a different model and there is a utility to do this but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

This also might be of use

Good luck

I already installed Snow Leopard using boot-132-mars and i could boot it up. When i used EasyBCD to boot up SL and it stopped after detecting my hard drives. And i tried waiting for a while and it never booted SL.When I booted with the CD, I could boot up SL.
