Would the contents of my SMBIOS.plist make any difference?

Before changing back to mach_kernel, if i were to remove disabler.kext from E/E it would only get this far.
I'll try adding disabler.kext to E/E again and see what that does, if no joy I'll try a fresh install.

I've just done a clean install and then updated to 10.6.7 using the combo update.
Installed Chameleon2 RC5 Meklort using the installer package you sent me.
Copied the dsdt to Extra.
Created smbios.plist and com.apple.boot.plist (both attached)
Created the folder 'Extensions' and copied in the following kexts:

• 27aeAppleIntelGMA950
  
• 27aeAppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer
  
• AppleACPIBatteryManager
  
• AtherosL1cEthernet
  
• FakeSMC
  
• VoodooHDA
  
• VoodooPS2Controller
  
• VoodooPS2Trackpad

Rebuilt permissions

Restarted and booted in verbose mode
It still gets stuck after

read HFS+ file: [hd(0,2)/Extra/smbios.plist] 623 bytes.

Is there anything in either the smbios.plist or the com.apple.boot.plist that would be causing this or is it purely a problem with the bootloader?
I have noticed that using this bootloader, themes do not show, Chameleon seems to load ok but just as a CLI.

Thanks again

I've made some real progress now, I have done the following:

1.  Fresh install of 10.6.3
2.  Update to 10.6.7 using combo update
3.  Install chameleon 2.0 rc5 r699
4.  Install the following into E/E

• FakeSMC.kext
  
• VoodooPS2Controller.kext
  
• VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext

    5.  Install the following into S/L/E

• VoodooHDA.kext
  
• 27aeAppleIntelGMA950.kext
  
• 27aeAppleIntegratedFramebuffer.kext
  
• AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext

    6.  Install dsdt.aml
    7.  Install SMBios.plist
    8.  Install com.apple.boot.plist
    9.  Install mach_kernel_atom_10.6.6
   10. Rebuild caches
   11. Reboot

I now have an almost perfect installation, I have Q/E working, sound, trackpad with scrolling, webcam, bluetooth, sleep, restart etc.
The only thing not working is WiFi, which is strange as it used to work perfectly, and still does on my other install, the only real difference between the two being that I'm using the dsdt on this install (one without wifi).
So all I can think is that something in the dsdt is conflicting/preventing WiFi from working.
I have tried putting the AtherosL1cEthernet.kext in both E/E and in S/L/E, neither make any difference.

I'm using an Atheros AR5B95 WiFi card and have attached the AtherosL1cEthernet.kext that was previously working.
I've also attached a copy&paste of sudo dmesg.

The only other small issue I have is that when the laptop boots up, it gets to the desktop and after half a second goes to sleep, after you wake it up by pressing the power button it's perfect.
Not a major issue but if I can solve it I'd be happy.

Any ideas on these 2 issues (wifi and random sleep)?

Thanks again for all the help
