[QUOTE="polyphake, post: 1356699, member: 233728"] [b]solved powerbook G4 leopard update[/b] I was struggling with similar problems upgrading my G4 powerbook to 10.5. after installing 10.5 from the CD my powerbook got stuck at the "blue screen of death", not doing anything. what helped were the following steps: -connect powerbook to other machine via fire wire -start up powerbook in target mode (press T while starting up) -start other machine (a few times the HD was not accessible for me, i tried repairing it, nothing, disk was detected, but inaccessable. this problem dissappeared after another startup with the helper/machine on already. dont know why) -find harddisk of your powerbook -go to: system: library : systemConfiguration and DELETE this file: ApplicationEnhancer.bundle -don't delete anything else! -shut down & disconnect from fire wire -restart (& be patient) -voila why that is u can find here: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1545?viewlocale=en_US]Mac OS X 10.5: "Blue screen" appears after installing Leopard and restarting[/url] might safe u from a headache greets, polyphake [/QUOTE]
