[G4] upgrade problem

[B G]

I would try a reinstall of the OS, when you boot from the install  
disc it should give you the option to repair/reinstall. Try that

After the reboot when you do the software update, make sure you are  
not running any program or using the computer in any way.

There have been reports that this will mess up the optimize phase of  
the upgrade.

Good Luck.
