there are many different ways to remove an unwanted kext. a few of them are:
in single-user mode (-s) Code:
/sbin/mount -uw / rm -Rf /Sytem/Library/Extensions/extension.kext rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions.* reboot you can also do the same style within OS X after you have it running... I prefer Terminal so that's how I'll show it Code:
sudo -s rm -Rf /Sytem/Library/Extensions/extension.kext rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions.* reboot EDIT: Either use the Terminal command kextstat then compare these to what is in your /System/Library/Extensions/ folder... or look at your System Profile -> Software -> Extensions...

I'm getting a nasty "still waiting for root device" ; I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm using iPC 10.5.6 PPF 5, and I've made sure I installed the correct chipset. I was just looking at the topic's stuck on top and wondered what "SATA chipset driver" meant, was I supposed to click a SATA chipset?, I only clicked Via/SiS........etc..

Hi,
Lets go one step at the time. First lets fix booting into OSX. You don't have chipset controller driver installed. You need AppleVIAATA. Get the file and put it onto your USB stick. You can use windows to do that. Boot from DVD, once you reach installation menu, launch Terminal. You need to do some basic terminal commands to install your kexts and navigate using terminal. You can boot from dvd with usb stick or you can plug it in later. Suppose your USB stick is labelled 'USB' and your Mac OS X installed partition is labelled 'Leopard'. Use your labels accordingly. Code:
sudo -s cd /Volumes/ ls Code:
cp -r /Volumes/USB/AppleVIAATA.kext /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions cd /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions chmod -R 755 AppleVIAATA.kext chown -R root:wheel AppleVIAATA.kext cd .. (go one level up, you are now in /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library) rm -rf Extensions.* kextcache -k Extensions/ reboot Regards |

(go one level up, you are now in /Volumes/MacHD /System/Library) rm -rf Extensions.* kextcache -k Extensions/ reboot |

For some reason sudo -s wasn't reconized as a command, and my USB stick didn't even get reconized; strange.
I listed the directories under Volumes and it didn't come up. |

sudo shouldn't be recognized because you are booting from the DVD, it already has root privileges, and about your USB, see if the installer with recognize it(i.e.- click continue until it asks where to store it) see if its there

Check out your BIOS settings. See if Legacy USB support is enabled.
