Try bootring with ForceHPET=y (case sensitive) and let me know how the panic 
changes (or if it's fixed). i'll fix it 
in future version

I'm uploading a new one that should fix this.

Never mind... new one doesn't fix it (but you can boot with recovery=y now).

yes, I tried with "ForceHPET=y" and I've got exactly the same results, the 
panic screen

The "recovery=y" option doesn't work too. The only way to work is downgrade to 
0.8.4pre with a USB disk.

Same problem on Dell Mini 1011.

Booting into safe mode (hold shift to see Chameleon drive selection, hit tab 
and type
in -x as boot option) is available though and allows to reinstall previous 
version
(8.4pre). Faster then booting from USB/external dvd in my opinion.

Same problem with the Dell Mini 1011, but -x didn't work for me.  I'm planning 
to
re-install the whole OS.

I am having this same issue. I had the entire OSX working and downloaded the 
10.6.3
uptade via the update. Now I am continuing to get a KP every time i install the 
os.

I'm having this issue on a Latitude D420. Any estimate on when it'll be fixed?

Same issue on a clean install of 10.6 on a 1012. Downgraded to 0.8.4pre and was 
able to boot.
