I think I am getting closer to my problem. I think I see the computer getting hung up on the AirPort card while I am in verbose mode. I am still looking for where the hell it is dumping the panic.log.

In my search, I did find some system logs that had some different info. Here is an unsuccessful boot up. I can certainly tell there is a problem here, "respawning too quickly, throttling" and all. Translation?

Huzzah! I took out the AirPort extentions out of the extentions folder and my computer will boot up normally again! Damn I wish I had done that before all of these reinstalls. Now I have a real mess.

Alright, now I seem to have a different problem. My AirPort card is out of wack...

How am I to fix this problem?

So, you removed your airport extensions, and now you wonder why you have problems with your airport card, eh?

Again, the possible memory problems was, I think, just a coincidence, and really threw you off the trail of the actual problem...

Archive & Install is a likely next step - or if that doesn't help - (backup
everything), erase and install.
