Unable to load OS 10.4.8 after apparently successful installation

I managed to install 10.4.8 Jas Intel including PPF1 distribution on a latitude c840. In the customize stage I only chose the Intel Kext and Titan Nvidia driver. It appeared to have gone well during installation.

 

However, I am having problems loading the OS.

 

At boot up I first see a text message saying Loading Darwin/X86, then a light gray screen with apple logo and then a dark gray screen with a message saying that "You need to restart your computer...". Needless to say that I have restarted it several times but I am still getting the same error.

 

Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this and how to fix this?

 

Thanks a lot in advance !!.

Just to let you all know that I managed to fix the issue by moving the Nvidia kext to a different folder..as per the advice given on the following site:

A different problem now bothers me - USB mouse is out of control and acting too shy! :-)

 

It keeps trying to run out side the screen i.e. jumping around. I read one of the posts, which suggests disabling the legacy USB support in BIOS but I cant as the config password is lost.

 

Could there be other reasons for the erratic behaviour of USB mouse?
