After that, I backed up some kexts and data to be safe and then got the 10.5.6 Update from Software Update (not the ASU; I got an error every time I tried).

After restart, it booted! I had to replace AppleSMBIOS.kext with my old kext because About This Mac would force a logout, but that all I needed to do to get 10.5.6 working for me
I did just that, and it works perfectly fine for me. i still get (since the upgrade to 10.5.5) my amd cpu listed as core 2 duo in about this mac, but this really is a non- issue. the good thing is that the system is working just fine.

EDIT 1: Well, i just found a big problem: my usb stick is no longer detected. worked great in 10.5.5. anyone has any ideas of what to do about it?

EDIT 2: ok, i found out how to get it to see the usb stick: i have to delete the extensions cache: sudo rm -R /system/library/extensions/caches

problem is i have to do this everytime i restart my computer. i know it's possible to do this automatically, but i did not have to do this on 10.5.5.

is there something that can be done about this?
