Attempting to improve the poor performance of Final Cut Pro X, and following the online instructions at Larry's blog, I started up my Hackintosh in safe mode ( -x) which forces a re-build of all caches and a bunch of other system stuff. It worked OK on my 10.6.7 drive, but killed my Hackintosh insallation on 10.6.8. The problem shows up only after a second restart, when it uses the newly rebuilt caches. The OS kernel panics at startup on the ATI500Controller.kext.
After a bunch of ineffective attempts to rebuild the caches manually by booting into 10.6.7 and using MultiBeast, I finally fixed it by re-installing 10.6.8 over the existing installation (using the ComboUpdate installer) and then following the instructions in my blog post of January 7.
