You can boot safe mode with -x or you could use -s for single user mode (kinda like recovery console from Windows XP) and fix it from there. To fix permissions you can do 'diskutil repairpermissions /' from the terminal or run repair permissions from the disk utilities application in safe mode or from the install DVD.

If you get in via the -x mode, go to the Applications/Utilities folder and run Disk Utility. Select the partition and click on fix permissions.

 

If you have to go the -s route then type this at the command line:

 

/sbin/mount -uw /

sudo diskutil repairpermissions /

See boot OSX with the -s option.

 

It will ask you to type some {censored} to mount ur disk in writable mode. Do that

 

Now type:

 

1) chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/

2) chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/

 

OR

 

Boot with the OSX disk, GO into terminal and type the above commands
