Basically I've reinstalled Leopard and I had a topic before where I was told to go into single user mode mode and remove a kext. Thing is that topics been removed and I've lost the paper it was wrote down on. Can anyone help me?

have you installed Leopard or Snow Leopard?

 

 

 

 

 

To boot into single user mode you need to hit Tab once the bootloader comes up, and then type "-s" without the quotes and hit enter.

 

 

 

 

Once you're in Single User Mode, you need to remove the offending kext with the 'rm' command and flush the kext cache. I don't know what kext you need to remove, but kexts are located in /System/Library/Extensions (usually denoted as /S/L/E in forum-speak). To remove a kext you'll need change to that directory and remove it. To do that:

 

cd /System/Library/Extensions

 

and then to see files there type "ls" (that's a lowercase L) without the quotes, and remove it with "rm":

 

rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/[offending-file-name-without-brackets.kext]

 

To flush the cache, you need to type the following:

 

rm /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext

I went with Leopard this time so I could use my GPU, I've used Snow Leopard previously.

I can't get anywhere in single user mode, it just freezes.
