At boot press F8, then give the option

-s

which boots in single mode.

Then, when you get the command prompt, type:

/sbin/mount -uw /

and then delete the following kexts from /System/Library/Extensions/

AppleIOPCCardFamily.kext
ApplePCCardATA.kext
ApplePCCard16ATA.kext

and reboot, all should be fixed.

Regards

I'm curious, which kernel are you using? Semthex or mifki?

Semthex, I did not try the mifki kernel.

Ops... sorry, your question was for brianl

tried both options still boots to apple screen and says you have to turn power off and reboot in six languages, but when I reboot it comes up to the same screen ,I think I will try to install 10.4.6 and see how that goes. if anyone has got the jas10.4.8 semthex working can you let me know what you did thanks.

Brian,

just hit f8 repeatedly as your computer is booting up. Select the drive you want to use (arrows up or down) and type -v and hit enter.

This will tell you EXACTLY what is wrong (if you are booting 10.4.8 with semthex, it should tell you the names of some kext files. Boot into windows or off of a live cd (if you have windows, download macdrive and mount your mac partition on windows) and delete those files. Once you delete those kexts, it should boot fine!

Post back here to tell us the results,
