I restarted my computer after installing “IOUSBFamily Log release for Mac OS X 10.5.5 Build 9F33", the grey screen with the apple appeared, but before the "loading circle" thing appeared, my screen dimmed and the "you need to restart you computer" thing came up with all of the different languages. I restarted it, and it did the same thing. I turned it off, unplugged it and plugged it back in, turned it on and it came up again. Luckily, I partitioned my hard drive and installed Mac OS X onto it (incase of an emergency). I am able to boot up using that partition just fine. When It finished booting up, an window saying "Mac OS X unexpectedly quit after restart" or something like that. I opened up Disk Utility and Verified the disk. It said it was OK. I restarted my computer on the problem partition, and it still came up. The next time I booted it up on the "emergency" partition. and copied the error report:

You need to remove what you just installed, it may not have been for your machine.

That is because you installed a file that is meant for 10.5.5 only. you need to reinstall the version for 10.5.6. I had this happen to me, and when i reinstalled the new version it worked just fine.
 
Thanks for the help, It worked. I suspected that's what I had to do, but I wasn't sure

I am having this problem as well. Everytime I boot up my computer it tells me "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or presss the Restart button."

Where on the blog are the directions to remove the old software installed to fix this issue?
 
Unplug all usb storage devices, boot your mac, and download the 10.5.6 IO kext installer from the developer site.
