Hello, in order to update my Hackintosh to 10.5.1, I'll take a tutorial in the post it but there are two

Vanilla kernel

Not vanilla.

 

How do I know which one to choose?

I just downloaded the Kalyway 10.5.1 dvd and then booting vmware I did it and now, the GUI is launched.

 

Thank you in advance

It depends on what CPU you have.

 

AMD CPUs and pre Intel "Core Micro-Architecture" CPUs (Pentium 4, D and M) cannot run the vanilla kernel.

 

Some new Intel CPUs also need a patched kernel to work, I think some of the Core i models and the Atom. I'm not sure, google or forum search if you want to know more.

 

If you're running OS X under VMWare, I have no idea. Ask in the "multibooting and virtualization" sub-forum.

one thing i know is that any Core 2 model can use vanilla kernel. Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Extreme

 

any AMD or Intel CPU made before the Core 2 series would need a patched kernel

 

I'm not sure about Core i series (i3, i5 or i7), I haven't worked with them yet myself
