That's how you boot to your installation. What you did is try to boot iBoot live cd in safe mode
Pay attention to capitalization F is not equal to f in osx/bsd.
What did you actually do? You wrote the symptom but not the reason.
Best of luck.

Hm, reinstall your OSX and don't make Experiments !

Sometimes there is simply no other choice!

Almost always there is, just keep close a backup copy of the working kernel and you're safe

Me too !

I have the same problem - I have had a stable system for several weeks. Added the realtek8xx.kext and now even re-installing with just the correct network kext it gives me the "You need to restart" message

Can you get into the file system from the install disk ?

I have GA-G41M-E2SL & NVidia 8400GT - Retail DVD Install
