Ok, I was trying to boot into leopard after installation, and I was getting the GeForce panics. So I booted into single user mode and tried to remove the kexts but apparantly my device was write locked. (Read only). So I tried running fsck on my harddrive and I was getting bad super block errors.
Since I couldent remove them through single user mode, I booted up to my windows install and deleted the kexts through a program called "TransMac" which lets me browse my mac harddrive. I'm not sure how to boot up my osx system without booting up to the install cd anymore..
Any suggestions?

Well somehow I got it booted up.. now I have network issues and I need to get my graphics card drivers installed..
I have an NVidia 8500 GT for the card
And my motherboard is an abit KN9-SLI and i'm using the onboard ethernet. I guess that would be Nforce 4?

Wait for the next release by Zephyroth in the next couple of days. Your hardware issues "will likely" be addressed. =)
Disable firewire (1394) in the BIOS and install forcedeth to get ethernet working.
For graphics use nvinject or whatever you'd like.
