Hello -

So I completed the install of 10.6.2, but I keep getting a CPU panic (see image).

If I choose -x for safe mode it boots fine (but I have no ethernet, or audio). There are no devices for ether in the System Preferences.

I was wondering if someone can help me with the following things:

1. find root cause/solution for the cpupanic (being able to boot without a panic and without going into safemode
2. Help install the correct kext for audio
3. Help installing the correct kext for network
4. Confirming that I have the correct video drivers installed.

here is my system information (taken from Ubuntu live):
