kernel panic at startup after (silly) os x 10.6 install attempt on a 2012 MBP

Hello,

I messed up. I tried installing Snow Leopard on a 10.8.5 macbook pro (its the last os X version to be compatible with my old film scanner )

Off course it did go wrong. Its a kernel panic and restart at every boot up attempt, or at any rebooting even after successfully re installing 10.8.5. Note that 10.6 was never installed (duh, off course! I'm an idiot for trying this!)

But it does start in safe mode.

I found the kernel panic diagnostic but Etrecheck does not work on my 10.8.5, I'm afraid.

Here is the panic report :

thanks i guess?

Oh yea, it is org.voodoo.driver.VoodooHDA that is causing the kernel panic

Kernel Extensions in backtrace:

org.voodoo.driver.VoodooHDA(0.2.62)[33C9885D-4325-D4FA-4872-E6C8B2C4B1AB]@0xffffff7fac3eb000->0xffffff7fac40afff

So Eric Root's advice is Solid.

Thank you i will try that later today.

I dont have access to this computer right now, but i remember trying to find uninstall stuff in the OS installation folder which I downloaded and i dont think there is any :( but i'll check again. Or maybe i must find another way to delete this... Voodoo driver (?) i will do my part now and come back when/if i'm stuck again (i m feeling optimistic)

Thanks again !!!
