[QUOTE="pianodavid, post: 702661, member: 48859"] iBook G4's are (IIRC) completely compatible with leopard. If you can get it to boot i'd make sure startup disk and everything are correct. I'd also try to install leopard again, maybe there was a problem with the update installation. if you can't install the update again what i'd do is install 10.5.0 from the DVD and then install the update again, see what happens If it has issues again i'd install leopard from the DVD (yes again) and then NOT do the update(--duh?). you may want to boot from cd/dvd and "repair disk permissions" on the drive and the volume. then "repair disk" on the drive (this may only be in Tiger, which i have, so maybe they're made into one thing now). i've fixed quirky problems with this before .
