Hi, ill post specs below

i had Kalyway 10.5.2 AMD installed on my Toshiba notebook and besides audio and wifi not working, the system itself seemed stable. the boot time was kinda high, but i dont think it was of TOO much concern.

Anyway, i tried to use the 4MINDS 10.5.4 AMD update and i backed up my kexts to a folder using osx86 tools and using terminal... using this method http://forum.insanelymac.com/lofiver...hp/t89260.html

the update was succesful and booted fine but on the login screen i realized my mouse and keyboard were not working. so this is what i tried

1) boot with -x
2) with -x -v
3) with -s and
4) with -x and -s

attempt 1 and 2 booted. yet still no mouse/kb
attempts 3 and 4 would not boot. i cant make use of the terminal prompt? it get to the part with root etx where you enter the prompt but the error message "error: firewire unable to determine security mode; defaulting to full-secure ..." appears in the middle of the prompt section and stays there and will not let me enter any commands, thus i cant even try to restore my old kexts

any idea how to bypass the error or another way to restore my extensions? i dont have access to a usb mouse or keyboard at the moment
