Use ModCD to boot your already installed system and use Kext Wizard to install this kexts > updated Trackpad+Keyboard PS2 32/64 - Downloads - Kexts.com

Reboot and boot again from HDD using this flag`s > -f -v

ok , so I resolve my little keyboard thing , put a usb one ...lol ), I started it all over also installed the GraphicsEnabler (is the only choice to support ATI as it says) I have a Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 3870 vga.
So installation sucesfull
also download and install the bootloader
restart it
and here I'm does not boot at it own
now what

by the way , the HDD where I install the osx it load and I can open SL, but only by booting my hackintosh with Nawcom's ModCD

thnx dude for support again

Boot in verbose mode, take a picture of the Panic/Freeze and place here...

[OFF]

You remember to install FakeSMC.kext and NullCPUPowerManagement.kext before try to boot from HDD right????

We need the pictures from when you`re booting from HDD not from ModCD...

If the second picture is from HDD boot, probably you have a video issue, in this case, you need to remove the video kext that you install...
