Its up and running and have had no problems except with iMovie from iLife 08. Would not start.

I have tried the iDeneb combo update but I got the 'no parking' sign and had to boot with -v-x-f to get that far. I have tried iArkos v7 and that didn't work either. Also tried iDeneb 10.5.6 combo update with my current install and then by itself. The only on thats worked in Kalyway. I will say that upon restarting from the iArkos v7 install, it asked me were I wanted to boot from, I picked the hdd were it was installed, but all it would do is restart(happens with EVERY install(including updates))

I would like to update to 10.5.6 at least for the new software(iLife09,Safari 4 etc,etc) but am clueless.If there is a way for me to run 10.6, that would be awesome.

If anymore information is needed please let me know.

I have been to several different forums and have recieved NO help.Even during installation.

Thanks in advance
