The problem has resurfaced. Same as before. I did a clean install again and it still exists. I went back to the 1.5 voodoo kernel instead of the 1.7 it ran a lot smoother on my system.

If I am logged into safe mode (-X) I am able to install things no problem. And run software update. When booted normally any package installs freeze and software update freezes before it even loads 25 percent. So I really think we are dealing with some sort of KEXT issue.

Are the Kext files not loaded at all in safe mode or only some of them? I am trying to figure out what is the problem one but I don't really know the best way to do it without just deleting a bunch and keeping my fingers crossed haha.

Thanks for your help!
