Thank you for your response.
I forgot about the specs. -x gets me into the system okay. but like I said I have no internet connection. in some other things are missing. I guess because I'm in safe mode.
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+
ASUS A8N-SLI DELUXE ACPI BIOS Revision 1015 SSE SSE2 SSE3
Memory: 768 MB
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 XT
Seagate ULTRA ATA 120 gb Barracuda for leopard
SATA 250 for a tiger
SATA 250 for Windows XP
i did this
mount -uw /
rm -r /system/library/extensions/Nvdaresman.kext
rm -r /system/library/extensions/geforce.kext
But I still have the problem when i reboot. I type in "reboot" after I type all the rm stuff. but it did not do nothing new reboot. maybe I'm doing something wrong.
what should it say between "rm -r /system/library/extensions/Nvdaresman.kext" "rm -r /system/library/extensions/geforce.kext"

well..macone you have the solution.. -x flag we dont know what is causing this on you system because...well...you see… we don't know your specs...:-w
Can you take a photo of the kernel panic screen you get when not using -x?
hey dude i'm getting the same thing … frustrating as hell huh?
sux that the replies take hours to get and (they're not contsructive at times) i'm watching this space for a fix
my specs are AMD athlon 64 x 2 4000+
2gb ram
nvidia 8600gt
1 x 500 Sata2 XP Ubuntu
1 x 80GB IDE drive for Leopard
LIke I've said before, can you post a screen shot of the kernel panic or name the kext that's causing the kernel panic?
@Macone this kernel panic is a known issue, boot with -s and type this
mount -uw /
rm -r /system/library/extensions/Nvdaresman.kext
rm -r /system/library/extensions/geforce.kext
Please google is our friend
google is our friend.. but unfortunately its enemy of most people
I have login crashes. I can boot up to the login screen, and login, then right before the finder menus and icons load i'm kicked back out to the login screen again. Does anyone else have this problem?
try reinstalling it maybe there was an error during the installation
Boot with -s (single user mode)
mount -uw /
Then press ENTER to execute the command.
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext
Press ENTER to execute the command.
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*.kext
Press ENTER to execute the command.
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*kext
Press ENTER to execute the command.
exit
Reboot
