I installed this update last night, and rebooted. My machine (Powerbook G4, 1.33) did not restart properly and it required me to hold the power button down to shut it off. After that, my Bluetooth feature is broken. I get a squigly through the bluetooth symbol on the menu bar and cannot get my BT to work. Anyone else??

I installed the update and have an even bigger problem. Leopard will load and I get a desktop . . . but I also get the endlessly spinning beach ball. Luckily I have a carbon copy of my system on a boot drive . . . or I would be dead in the water! I would wait before trying this upgrade.

I reset my PMU and got my bluetooth working again! Possibly coincidence?
