• Gigabyte GA EP35 DS3
• Gigabyte nVidia GeForce 7600 GT 256MB (Device ID 0x0391)
• HP w2207 TFT (w/ integrated USB hub)
• Buffalo AirStation WLI2-PCI-G54S (recognized as Third Party Wireless Card)

• Enable AHCI in BIOS for your drives (in case you see drive icons in orange, apply kexts included with the binaries' release of Chameleon 2)
• Try to boot into Safe Mode with -x (see more Darwin flags here) and
  Repair Permissions from within the Disk Utility.app

Don't forget this. No matter what a clone manufacturer or a USB dongle merchant says.

Anyway as we are quite conservative with running systems we don't feel we need to change to often ways. That's why we're still using our own EPOS I. (download here) approach, which is based on Munky's (more info here) findings.
