exactly. There are many reasons for a machine not being able to "boot" such as the "still waiting for device" error or the kernel panic.

a screen shot with a boot flag of "-v" would be best.

I would even recommend using "-f -x -v" the first time you boot just to make sure OS X is working on the Hard Drive. Then we can troubleshoot issues with a regular boot later.

This problem occurs a lot when native graphics kexts are still in the system that shouldn't be. boot with "-s" then
Code:
/sbin/mount -w /
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/NVD*
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/NVinject.kext
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/ATI*
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
reboot
Note: you will need to reinstall any new graphics injects to fix your video card and get CI/QE or better resolutions.
