That kext got updated by 10.6.2, by the way. So David's suggestion of
reapplying the 10.6.2 update might be a good one.

Yes, a O - I've disconnected all the peripherals but there was a
Firewire drive connected.

jnl: unknown-dev: (etc)
jnl: unknown-dev: journal reply done

bug: launch.c.3557 (etc)

running fsck....

volume is jounaled no checking performed

use the -f option to force checking

launchctl: Please convert the following to launchd: /etc/mach
init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist

then it ends at initialisation of power management

It might be worth disconnecting that drive during the boot, just for now.

I'd try to reset the SMC <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT396> before
trying to add stuff to the disk.
