I am having issues installing 10.6.8. In order for the installation to complete w/o a KP i have to remove ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext from /System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns. Once I do that the system will update fine, I run the current MB and it will fail. From there I can reboot into the OS in safemode and rerun MB successfully. However this does not yield a bootable system. I have tried rerunning MB successfully as well as reinstalling the 10.6.8 update to no avail (I have done this repetitively with several clean installs). After installing 10.6.8 and MB the only way I can boot into my system is with '-x -v GraphicsEnabler=No'. If i just use GraphicsEnabler=No the system will eventually boot after a couple minutes to distorted video.
The only thing I saw that appeared to be an issue while booting in verbose was a warning that no NVIDIA adapter was installed. I have reset CMOS and reentered the proper BIOS Settings as well as restored my board to the f4 bios in hopes of stumbling upon a fix.
I am currently back to running 10.6.7, as I have no problems installing that update with MB and BridgeHelper. Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated.
