LAPTOP MODEL: Toshiba U205-S5002

GOAL: MBR Installation via usb flash drive

PROBLEM: White Screen of Death(?)

ABOUT MY LAPTOP:

CPU: Core Duo T2300E
MEMORY: 4GB 5400
VIDEO: GMA950 (27a2)
CHIPSET: ICH7 (27c4)
HDD: 250GB SATA HDD
WIRELESS: DELL 1490 WIRELESS
LAN: INTEL PRO VE/100 ( 8086-1092 )
AUDIO: AD1981HD (VEN_8086&DEV_27D8)
USB: (VEN_8086&DEV_27C8; 27C9, 27CA, 27CB, 27CC)

I made a bootable usb flash drive using chameleon 2 rc3 + pc efi 10.5 boot file.
I restored the retail image to the drive.

I created my /e/e folder and this is where I run into some trouble.

The bootloader lets me pick my installation media but using -v or not, results in the same white screen of death.

Here is what I fed into my /e/e (32bit ONLY)

CPU: NOTHING
MEMORY: NOTHING
VIDEO: AppleIntelGMA950.kext, Natit.kext, AppleIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext, IOGRAPHICSFAMILY.kext
CHIPSET: IOATAFAMILY.kext (reported working)
HDD: NOTHING
WIRELESS: NATIVELY SUPPORTED
LAN: AppleIntel8255x.kext (reported working)
AUDIO: NOTHING

MISC: Disabler.kext, voodoops2controller.kext, voodoohda.kext,
voodoobattery.kext, fakesmc.kext (v2.0 for SL), IOAHCIBLOCKSTORAGEINJECTOR.kext,
ahciportinjector.kext, appleintelpIIxata.kext, ioatafamily.kext, jmicronata.kext, platformuuid.kext

I took all my kexts from trusted sources. I know I did the mbr edits properly and have a feeling this is related to video.
The attachment below my post contains the following all dumped from SLAX via usb flash drive:

1) virgin dsdt
2) lspci dumps
3) audio codec dumps

Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE: after deleted appleintegratedframebuffer.kext from the installation media i was able to get to the installer

UPDATE #2: Only kext removed was AppleIntel8255x.kext as nothing helps me get LAN working. I'm stuck with wifi for now.
This is strange as despite this nic being a pain in the ass it would always work eventually.
Last piece of hardware to test will be a card reader (ids coming in a few).

NEW GOAL: Slim down /e/e and determine which kexts are actually required in /e/e (as i threw everything in there possible!)


Thanks,
Ox

As a side note, VoodooHDA does not work in /E/E and will only work in /S/L/E.

If you use an extra management system you may as well go whole hog and preload the cache as well. To satisfy dependencies, kextcache e/e+s/l/e together and load this grouped kextcache from /e.

i.e. kextcache -m /Extra/Extensions.mkext /Extra/Extensions /System/Library/Extensions
