Field Note #1 @Ali C. 2008-11-26

Reinstall if you can't get into safe mode for the same reason.
There's probably some way to fix it with some terminal code while booted from the OS X install disc, so you should wait a little while for that first. Assuming, of course, you backed up IOUSBFamily.kext first?

Field Note #2 @nfoav8or 2008-11-26

when you boot up OS X on a hackintosh, it is recommended that you use the -v boot flag until you are sure your system starts OS X without problems in order for you to be able to diagnose the problem (or to at least be able to pass on the information needed for others to help with that).
