You need to rebuild the KEXT cache, not the KEXT.
man kextcache
or
http://developer.apple.com

Thanks, Terry. I'll rebuild the KEXT. But forgot how at the
moment. Any hints?

This is a new one for me: G5 complains about
'com.apple.driver.AppleMacRiscPCI' missing in the startup from
'kld_load_from_memory()'. I got that using <cmd-V> at startup. I
used another system partition to look it the file was there (in
System/Library/Extensions/) and it was! So I took out the
kextensions.cache and its partner and tried again: still got the
same complaint. (By the way, it says there are 1310 buffer
headers and 1310 cluster IO buffer header, if that matters.)
Do anyone know of something else to try? This is under OSX
10.4.10 as well as 10.4.2 (which I reloaded in hopes of clearing
up "lost" files).
Instead of removing the KEXT cache, rebuild it.
The error is indicating that it's unable to load it from the cache
that was loaded into memory by the boot loader.
It can't read it off the disk itself because it can't even talk to
the PCI bus on which the disk controller lives without this KEXT
loaded.
