Kernel panic after 10.5.6 download
Hey,
I've been having a problem since I tried to load 10.5.6 through the software updater. The update froze while verifying and then restarted. When it restarts I get a kernel panic and the apple light comes on and the computer makes noises. I restarted it over and over and get a kernel panic on the startup screen. I can get in if I start in safe mode and then unplug the computer and turn it back on which lets me log in normally with no kernel panic. It says its running 10.5.6 but it isnt listed as a download in software updater and there is no evidence I downloaded it other than my system profiler saying its running 10.5.6. Also, limewire no longer works because of a kernel panic and when I try to open anything I download a screen pops up saying to restart causing a kernel panic.
Is there any way I can get the computer back to 10.5.5 or re-download 10.5.6? I dont have a startup disk and Im not mac literate.....Im just trying to find a way to fix it without having to wipe the memory.
