Yeah, with SnowLeopard, simply leaving out the IRQ on RTC in SeaBIOS got me all the way to a blue screen with a moving mouse pointer, but no further :) However, the acpi-dsdt-isa.dsl RTC patch you just sent to SeaBIOS has no (negative) impact on my ability to boot SnowLeopard. Thanks much, --Gabriel
