Ok so last night I finally installed my copy of Photoshop, I was enjoying it and playing around. But then my dog came in and ripped(literally) out my power cord... Im upset because everytime after VoodooHDA loads, it kernel panics and wont go any further. Ive tryed to boot atleast 4 times... help please? its baffling me because it had a power short... not a mesed up kernel... its a AnV Voodoo 9.6.0 on 10.5.8 with correct seatbelt. I can't even boot safe mode.. and mac drive(nothing new) is saying it cannot be read and is curropted...

Field Note #1 @Imkantus 2009-09-21

Maybe it'll help to boot the install DVD, launch Disk Utility & Repair the file permissions of your Partition?

mount -uw /

try and remove all files in cache 
sudo rm-rf  /System/Library/Caches/*
install voodoohda
 fix premissions
reboot in -f mode
Field Note #4 @Imkantus 2009-09-22

Did you removed AppleHDA.kext before you applied VoodooHDA.kext ?

Edit: And I am quite sure that there are also other ways to your get sound working.

Field Note #5 @thorazine74 2009-09-22

Try using Voodoo kernel or other compilation apart from AnV's.
