Installed 13 times FINE, but cant boot into Leopard after???

[nicknowsky]

I have installed and reinstalled Leopard 13 times in the last 2 days, and th installation doesnt really bother me, its the constant not being able to get inTo Leopard after!!! I have tried everywhich way I can boot, I have to leave the DVD in and at the Dawin Bootloader, I use rd=disk0s2 (GUID is the only it works for me) and I have tried alotta differnet variations like -x, -f, cpus=1 and I lock up evertime. Ususally its somewhere along where its says ETHERNET Loading or something like that, but the best I have gotten is the last time I have GeForce 8400GS and I installed all the Nvidia drivers on the last installation, I unplugged my ethernet cable and I got all the way to DMOS: Loading
DMOS: Lock and Decrypting
DMOS: starting.........
or something REALLY CLOSE TO THAT, but NO matter what I cannot get into Lwopard, and I have HAD NOT 1 Issue during the installation!!! I have even gone out and bought a cheap REALTEK PCI Network Card to help get it 2 work (i have nforce and it suxxx and I DO DISABLE IT IN THE BIOS)
Please Please Please someone have any ideas to WHAT I am doing wrong or what I need to do to get it to BOOT!! Here are my specs

Boot into single user mode and delete all the NViDiA and Geforce kexts

Hmm, do you have any old video cards laying around? posibly an ATi if so, try it and see if thats your problem

I just read that over in the WIKI, but I wasnt sure if that applied to me, but it sounds good!! I will let ya'll know how it goes

[nicknowsky]

WOW!! It worked to an extent, now I get into the Account setup screens I get thru all of them EXCEPT for the last one, where I create my password(that usually the final one)Now I had to RESET 4 times just to get that far, each previous time it locked up in a different place, I would RESET and it would go past that point!! When I say locks ups, it looks as if its working but the MACOSX version of a hourglass appears, ya know the spininnig Color wheel and then it just spins ans spins and stays there FOREVER!! Any Ideas on this??

Have you tried running your CPU (and bus) at STOCK speeds? You're still running overclocked?

[nicknowsky]

okay I have read the Wiki on KNOWN ISSUES on the ACCOUNT CREATION LOOP ISSUE I have tried all of them but I am realy shady on how to EXACTLY type the Graphics Mode Boot

Do I type it EXACTLY as I see it in the wiki, like with the "quotation marks" and do I type 640x480x32 and use a small x
OR'
do I type 640*480*32 and use the asterick/multiply sign????

Do I use spaces in between Graphics and Mode and then a space between =??????
Could someone type it EXACTLY how it should be DONE!!!

[nicknowsky]

cause I am stuck on the LAST screen in the Account Creation Process, I get stuck where you type in your PASSWORD and I get that annoying BeachBall and it stays stuck forever

[cgsheen]

Ya, you include the quotation marks...
type it exactly as it appears on the line below:

"graphics mode"="640x480x32"

I personally think Solution 4 is a better option, but whatever works... Still, nothing beats having a working Ethernet Adapter and a connection to the Internet.
