The BootX coming with XPostFacto logs messages even before the kernel  
gets loaded if you hold down cmd-v at the boot chime. Dunno wether  
the standard BootX supports that.

To my experience, wrong ownership or permissions prevent the kernel  
from being loaded. Security risk blah blah ... ;-)

To avoid trouble here, I usually simply remove the kext-cache:

	sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
