cleaning up the kext before moving to efi partition

[terramir]

Hi folks,

Okies I will attach the complete list of Loaded kext, but I have several different questions that I will cut and paste because I would like to know specifics on certain things.

1. Voodoo HDA loads but apple hda loads as well does my hack need both? see below:

 

bash-3.2# kextstat

#2 PS keyboard and mouse there are several extensions that load which is wierd

I understand that dependencies are important but I have a ps2 trackpad not mouse.

 

#3 Intel CPU power management there are several things there that sort of urk me because I seen to be not able to enable any kind of speed stepping and well the fan sometimes is on so high at random as well as especially when I idle it sometimes goes nuts and well battery life sucks because of this as well. the voodoo app doesn't seem to work

Okies I know the #17 is supposed to disable #18, but why the heck is it loading 4 unrelated cpu's profiles when I'm running an atom processor, there's gotta be a better solution.

there are probably some other things that I dunno how it works, but maybe you folks can point some things out?

For example I once installed zd1211 driver and now it's stuck in the system/library/extension folder and I tried to delete it but it wouldn't even in terminal.

hope you guys can help
