OSX86 on Dell mini 9 restored

It took me very complicated steps to install the latest version (10.5.8) of Leopard. I followed the instruction compiled by "mechdrew". I abandoned upgrading it to Snow Leopard because currently Audio is not said to be working correctly. Previously, I used DellEFI to set it up, however, thanks to Meklort's NetbookBootMaker.app, the installation of Chameleon became easier. But in the very last of the installation, the Chameleon failed to find the right kernel to boot up, saying "Can't find Mach_kernel 10.5.6"

It was remedied by following steps:

1. On the Chameleon screen, type "mach_kernel" and hit return. (The characters are shown at the bottom.)
2. OS X starts up.
3. Use Terminal and go to /Extra directory.
4. Find com.apple.Boot.plist
5. sudo vi com.apple.Boot.plist and find the string "mach_kernel.10.5.6", erase ".10.5.6" and save it. (You know how to use vi.)
6. Restart the system.

After all, the system became stable now, however, there're still small glitches in "reboot after sleep", though.

I got a lesson: Don't upgrade the system before gathering foregoers' wits.
