You already tried booting in Safe Mode ( -x )????

You made any change to system files before the system stop booting???

Yea, I already tried safe mode, didn't work. I installed the FakeSMC.kext in Multibeast and then it stopped working.

Also, I just deleted FakeSMC.kext from my hard drive and it still doesn't work.

Boot in Single User Mode ( -s ) and when you reach the "root#" prompt, run the commands below...

Code:

fsck_hfs -r -f -y /dev/diskXsY

reboot

"Replace X for the disk and Y for the partition number"

Try to boot again OS X...

How do I find out the partition number? Would I put "1" for partition number? By the way I named the disk "Snow Leopard" and installed Mac Lion over it. But the disk is still named Snow Leopard.

I typed -s and I don't think it's reaching the prompt, since I can't type anything. By the way, that screenshot I posted that is where my computer is stuck.

The last line haves something ralted to your Firewire device...

Did you already tried to disable your Firewire device on your BIOS to see if change something???

To check your disk number, after you boot in Single User Mode, find the fererence "rd=/dev/diskXsY" on the screen...

I didn't change anything in my Boot setup. And never touched my firewire on my laptop. When I boot in -s it get's stuck on that screenshot I posted so I can't type the code you gave me.

Sorry, buddy...

If you can't boot even in Single User Mode, you have only more two things to try...

First > Run the commands from the terminal of the installation DVD/USB....

Second > Reinstall the whole system again...
