It just forces the system to ignore any caches and reload all the kernel extensions.

hmm...
Have you checked the permissions on this drive?
Boot from the install DVD and use terminal to take a look at the permissions on the updated files, if you find they are all screwed up, i.e set to your user or to group "staff" then you need to fix permissions, but the problem is your receipts will likely also be screwed up 
If you need a backup of the receipts before the update, let me know.  |
