I installed the UpdateCombo10.6.8 successfully!

Install official UpdateCombo10.6.8 or update online, then reboot.
Replace kext AppleSMBusPCI.kext in /System/Library/Extensions/ (with Kext Utility) with that of version 10.6.7 or mine in attached file.
Replace FakeSMC.kext in /Extra with the version 2.5 with Kext Utility in attached file.
Reboot and enjoy !!!

And for those which as me have a wifi Broadcom which completely slows down the system and which poses problem:
Open terminal and copy/save these two files :

Then install official UpdateCombo10.6.8 or update online, then reboot.
Replace kext AppleSMBusPCI.kext in /System/Library/Extensions/ (with Kext Utility) with that of version 10.6.7 or mine in attached file.
Then open terminal :

Copy old Apple80211Monitor.bundle in /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/

Copy com.apple.Boot.plist and smbios.plist in /Extra (attached file)
Replace FakeSMC.kext in /Extra with the version 2.5 with Kext Utility in attached file.
Reboot and enjoy !!!

I agree about Apple80211Monitor.bundle, but why did you replace SMBusPCI and FakeSMC?

I did have only one small error in the messages of the kernel to the boot
And with the FakeSMC v.2.5 and the old SMBusPCI nothing... not you?

I use FakeSMC 3.1 and vanilla SMBusPCI.
