Well this little script is probably your problem and I forgot to mention it.

I assume you are using windows to post these replies. We can try to copy the script to a usb drive and edit it in windows using notepad and then place it back into place.

I would format a usb thumb drive as FAT32 in windows, give it a name with no spaces and something easy to remember. Boot your install dvd with the thumb drive plugged in open Terminal and type:

Change directories to the scripts folder
Code:
cd /Volumes/YOUR_INSTALL_NAME/scripts/
Lets make a note as to the file permissions the script uses so that if we have problems from copying to windows we can fix it. It should look something like -rwxr-xr-x
Code:
ls -l 1
Copy a backup to the root of your install just in case
Code:
cp 1 /Volumes/YOUR_INSTALL_NAME
Copy the script to your thumb drive
Code:
cp 1 /Volumes/THUMB_DRIVE
Check to see if the file copied ok
Code:
cd /Volumes/THUMB_DRIVE
ls
Open the script in notepad or any other plain text editor and look for what I mentioned in the previous post. Save it to the thumb drive and boot your install disk. Open Terminal and type:
Code:
cd /Volumes
rm YOUR_INSTALL_NAME/scripts/1
cp THUMB_DRIVE/1 YOUR_INSTALL_NAME/scripts/1
cd YOUR_INSTALL_NAME/scripts
ls -l 1
If the permissions look the same we should be good to go. If not try:
Code:
diskutil repairPermissions /
Reboot and cross your fingers. You will be a Terminal pro by the end of this.
