7 Could not reboot - ID: 2811503
Last Update: Comment added ( kwidholm )

I have had a lot of unfixed permissions in Disk Utility. When I found
Applejack I thought that my problems were over. They were actually just
beginning. After running Applejack in Single User mode, my permissions
were NOT fixed. I ran it again and they still weren't fixed. I ran
everything else, and the mem test, then exited to reboot. I could not
reboot but continued to get a multi-national message to shut down the
computer. After trying that several times with no luck, I was able to do a
Safe Boot. Hoping that that had fixed the problem, I rebooted with the
same error message. I once again rebooted in Safe Mode and used my Leopard
Disk to reload Leopard. Then I had to spend the time reloading all of the
updates. No I have to find all of my printer install disks, etc. WHat is
Applejack doing? I see that others have had the same problem. I would
like to send you the log, but I can't find it on my system. I feel that
this problem is a black eye for Applejack. How can we get this problem
fixed?

Before you installed AppleJack, why was Disk Utility not working to fix
your permissions? Was there an error, or was it just not fixing them?

In some user's experience, applying a combo update rather than using the
Apple Software Update to update through all the smaller patches have
resolved similar issues.

Also, I'm assuming you installed AppleJack 1.5

Sorry you are having trouble. What was the exact Mac OS X 10.5.??? version
you were running at the time?
