Well, I did a full network data transfer to get my stuff from my BingoBeaver over to my Kiki. Kiki wouldn't boot after that
Apparently, Mac OS X also stupidly transfers over some of the Hacked kexts, which while causes Mac OS X to boot on an Asus board, also causes Mac OS X to
not boot on a real Mac XD
I was lucky it was still able to go into safe mode however, and it started booting again once I realized what was going on and quickly trashed the hackintosh kexts.
However, I left behind two kexts- my Rockfire PX-205 "driver" (well, it's a kext that fixes a glitch in Mac OS X so that the Rockfire PX-205 Playstation2 adapter works properly in Mac OS X) and the third party driver for my SoundBlaster Extigy (needed because for some reason, Mac OS X will not boot with the Extigy connected, and will freeze if I plug in the Extigy, all because the device receives an AC-3 5.1 audio stream over USB in addition to PCM like other USB sound cards. And the Mac USB Audio driver is so kludgey that it crashes the system if a USB sound card transmits an answer that reads anything other than "PCM only").
But if these two drivers were to become unsupported in Mac OS X Mountain Lion, they could very well do what those Hackintosh support drivers did with Lion. Plus, when I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I had to wait almost 4-5 months for the OkiData C3300N Color Laser printer to become supported.
