I had that problem twice on my iBook [Once with the OS X.ii.iv update, and once with the OS X.ii.viii update]... In both cases, some files were corrupted causing the computer to hang on boot-up... Run disk utility and see if you don't get some red lines indicating various failures... If you do, you'll probably need to run Disk Warrior, as the Disk Utility was not able to repair mine... Also, be sure to repair Permissions AFTER EACH UPDATE... If you get no red lines, just repairing permissions might do the trick... I hate to tell you this, but one of my failures required that I erase my HD and reinstall everything from scratch... You can use OS 9 to rescue your files if you don't have recent backups... Good luck...
