Over the past 3 days I've spent countless hours reading before I even tried installing LeoHazard's SL on my PC.
The installation went by pretty easy. However, when it comes to boot. I get a kernel panic.
I then booted the pc via the cd drive and removed the kext that was causing the panic. But after a reboot. The panic persists.
the panic (see image below).
I've also deleted the s/l/e/extensions.mkext (I read on another forum to try this out)
and after a normal reboot i get the error "You Need to Restart Your Computer" in multiple languages.
I attempted to use terminal with admin rights but when i type
"su" i get "command not found"
"sudo" gives me the same message.
Can ya'll help a guy out?

what bootflags are you using? You're using nawcom legacy kernel? what did you select during customize install, did you select this as a kernel? (Old intel = needs legacy kernel to run).
bootflags:
-v arch=i386
@paced98have you tried npci=0x2000 or npci=0x3000
Those only do anything on Lion and are no problem fixers, they are just for PCI probing.
