Hello Gringo,
/Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist contains the following:
ore com.apple.Boot.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=i386</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>y</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>y</string>
</dict>
</plist>
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist contains this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
</dict>
I have created DSDT.aml in Leo and copied to /Extra but did not help.
Tried also options -v -f -x32/ -v -f arch=i386/-v -f arch=i386 cpus=1/ -v -f arch=i386 cpus=1 rd=disk0s3 but no help.
what is strange that when I copy back 10.6.2 mach_kernel (that I backuped), it starts up. So
for old kernel no DSDT.aml is needed.
Why does the system tries to read DSDT.aml?
Hmm, you are writing that /extra/smbios.plist info was added to DMI table. I am going to read what is inside.
Note: once it was renamed so at that time system couldn't read it - but the error remained.
Is there a way to "reset" the system or to change DMI table?
what is the order of reading com.apple.Boot.plist from directories? if there is no /Extra dir it should read
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist?
What about *.mkext files or Extension dir - in different subdirectories ? do they have impact on loading/booting?

Note: I have also error Intel VGA Controller [8086:2a02] :: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0) currently NOT SUPPORTED
I know I had problem to use video drivers for X3100 for 10.6.2.
For this I have used Hactrix2006 kexts :
cd /Volumes/Snowleo/System/Library/Extensions
sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext
sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext
sudo chown -R root:wheel Natit.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 Natit.kext
and was able to boot into 10.6.2 via option: boot: -v -x32 arch=i386
After update to 10.6.3 I tried again this method but did not help.
