chown -R root:wheel Extensions/
touch Extensions/
rm -Rf Extensions.mkext
diskutil repairpermissions /

and reboot using "-v -f" flags

I booted with "-s" but it just booted the same way? And I don't know how I would mount for write-read access?

EDIT

I used those commands (with my brothers help) using the terminal on the install disk. I also made sure they were being applied to my OSX HD and not to the install disk. Anyways It did not change anything at all...Still the same screen. The reason I changed my kernel in the first place was because I was getting the error where I could not mount a .dmg disk image or whatever it's called. I got the "mounting disk" kernel panic after installing the 9.6.0 kernel based on voodoo.Then after replacing the kernel with another kernel that I believed was my old 9.5.0 voodoo kernel, I started to have this proble. I have no idea if that information would help but I really need to be able to access my OSX HD and it is getting very frustrating not being able to do so.
