ok so when I update the process completes 100% without sny errors or stopages it's after I do the restart that it cripples the system; I've done the 10.5.3 update with and without the voodoo kernel installed.

ok so after I update the system reboots and I get to the white apple screen that automatically restarts and doesn't go any further. So naturally i looked to the forums and tried reinstalling all the kexts I put in myself nforce, AC97, forcedeth and my ATI ones. now after I install just the ATI kexts I get past the white apple screen but the system freezes after just loading the background image (default leopard background) but after I reinstall the other kexts the system boots normally I get the finderbar @ the top and the dock as well as I can see everything on my desktop but then the system freezes. It goes to the spinning beachball cursor and locks entirely.... but I can boot into safemode so something gotta be corrupted by the update no? should i try booting -f?
