[G4] Question about Automatic Software Updater on 10.2.6

[CJ Scaminaci]

Try booting up with the Command-S keys pressed down. This will boot you 
into a text based single user mode. Then when everything is booted type 
"fsck -y" this will run a utility to fix any problems on your MacOSX 
drive. After that just type "reboot" hit enter and your machine will 
restart normally. If that doesn't work, run ASU and after it crashes 
open up your console window.(~/application/utilities/console) You 
should see an error message of why it core dumped.
