Well first of all I do not promise that it will work, I just sayed it fixed it for me on previous updates. 
Did you made a back-up of your Extensions folder, before updating? If not I suggest you to do so on future times.
If you made one, just try to boot from some OSx86 DVD, open Terminal, mount your drive r/w, copy your old AppleSMBIOS.kext back, check it's permissions and reboot using -f
If you didn't maybe v1.0.12 by netkas is worth a try, at least it still used to work with 10.5.7 so I reckon it will do with 10.5.8 as well.  But you will have to store it onto some HFS USB Stick or something like that to access it by using the Terminal window of some DVD.
(And yes I know, that it's possible to have vanilla SMBIOS with using newer Chameleon v2, etc, alltough, I think this might help.)
