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.) |

be sure to leave the finder/filemanager open!
after the update do not hit restart and just copy your kexts back.
now hit restart.

Made the update install, however it still did not restart on its own. It got to the point where theres a blue screen with the embedded spinning loading circle (not the rainbow cursor), but there was no HD activity so I waited a few minutes and forced it to power off, then rebootd. The update was installed. Now I'm trying to figure out why the computer wouldn't shut down. I'm also unable to bring up the shutdown menu by pressing the power button on my laptop, nor am I able to sleep (sleep just shuts the computer down). In the process of trying to find out why thats happening but if anyone has any idea, please let me know.
