I've got a Delta 1010lt card I've had for awhile and the box had the osx logo on it when I bought it. This card has always worked fine in OS9.
I just recently installed Panther 10.3.3 from a fully licensed OEM disk set. I updated to 10.3.9. I downloaded the last two delta family drivers and installed them. When the machine restarts I get a kernel warning screen that says, "you must restart your computer" in four lanuages.
I tried disk repair from the boot disc and it didn't find anything.

I installed the OS on another partition in case the problem is hard disk specific. For this partition, I didn't do any apple updates. Before I installed the driver, I checked the applications folder of the os that won't boot and clicked on the new M-audio icon. It said there was no compatable PCI card found. I went on to install the m-audio drivers to 10.3.3 and it didn't work either. Same thing, now I have two partitions that won't boot OSX.

I'm getting tired of reinstalling the OS just to get stopped by the same kernel warning screen everytime I try something else with this card.

I need help. have these cards changed since I bought mine?

You'll need to do a "Safe Boot" of Mac OS X, then delete the drivers. M-Audio makes that a little hard, though, since they don't install their drivers in the right place. Instead, they use a Startup Item. Look in /System/Library/StartupItems and you'll find the Delta helper. Delete it.

How do you do a "safe boot"? Just like Mac OS 9. As soon as you hear the bong, hold down shift.

I'm not sure why you're having problems with the drivers, though. I'm running a Delta 1010LT under 10.3.9 on a Dual 2Ghz G5. What driver version did you install?
 
I didn't even know that Shift still worked.

I'm running 10.3.9, and I've never had that problem with my Delta 1010LT. I have had problems with MIDI since I bought the card. I'm hoping a fresh install of 10.4 will help.

I think it was a new mini-feature in 10.3. In addition to disabling most non-essential extensions (including some that some might consider pretty essential), it also disables the KEXT caches, which can help if they somehow get hosed.
