I installed the 2005-006 security update on my 3.5 month old 15" Powerbook (1.67) yesterday, and shut the machine down before heading home from work. I noticed that it seemed to kernel panic, but paid little attention to that at the time. When I started the machine back up at home, the login process hangs after entering my password and moving to the blue OEM wallpaper. The mouse is responsive, as are the function keys (eject, etc.), but Finder isn't loading nor any of the other things that happen at that point. No disk activity from what I can tell.
I reseated the RAM, zapped the PRAM, reset the OF defaults, did an archive and install, did the single-user tricks (login window plist removal, etc.) from the KB article, fixed perms and verified the fs successfully from the Tiger install DVD, and tried Safe Mode, without any changes in results.
The Apple store Genius I spoke to said the HD is bad, since the external diagnostic HD he hooked up seemed to kernel panic on whatever he was doing with it. However, I can run in single user mode fine, and the Tiger DVD utilities also run just fine -- no FS errors, verifies OK. Remember that I also reinstalled (install+archive) Tiger just fine.
Has anything seen something like this? I'd hate to be without the machine for a few days if it's a software bug I can fix easily.
edit: I also removed the Cisco VPN and two CHUD kexts, with no results.
