Also when doing a fresh install always update to the latest if you can before adding graphix kexts as sometimes the issues you have are caused by the fact apple has added drivers for hardware that you have and they dont like the drivers you already have.

just a note with updating... I've found this method of having the same kernel renamed to two different files (mach_kernel and my other is mach_kernel.voodoo) to be very helpful as well as you can just use as a boot flag to specify the voodoo kernel. You can then start up in single user mode (-s) and recopy the kernel by typing:
Code:
/sbin/mount -uw /
cp /mach_kernel.voodoo /mach_kernel
then when you restart, if your default kernel specified by your com.apple.Boot.plist is mach_kernel, your system will boot just fine again.
You can also apply the Extension permission check when in single user mode as you specified above.
nice little guide LawlessPPC.
