I got a Toshiba Tecra A2 (Pentium M 1.8GHz, 1.5GB RAM, 80GB IDE HDD)

I installed Kalyway 10.5.2 on my toshiba. After realising some of the iLife programs need 10.5.6 to run, i decided to update. Now, i used the update guide on one of the other threads on this forum, and it all wen't perfectly until after rebooting.

I booted up with -f and -v flags to check everything was ok, but the boot process hangs on the 'IO Buffer Heads' part, just after 'Copyright Regents of California' (<-- or something like that).

What is wrong with my system, it justs stays there not doing anything, no matter how long i leave it!

Help please!

(Below is where it hangs at.) (The bit at the top where it says XN, is actually XNU)
