I did this instead, pulled a hard drive from another Mac and
installed 10.4 on it. Downloaded the 10.4.4 combo upgrade and then
applied it to the problem drive. It solved the problem and now it
boots normally. A quirk? Or more or less what you said.....

I applied the 10.4.4 update to a dual 1 gig Quicksilver last night

had something like this happen. Any ideas what might be going on
here? I logged on with the Username and Password and was able to
browse the directory hierarchy but was never able to get to a
GUI. So, my plan is to put in a second hard drive and do a re-
install and use the Migration Assistant to import everything.
Boot from the Tiger DVD, do an Archive and Reinstall and re-apply
the 10.4.4 combo update. Since you were able to log in the user
info is intact.
That shouldnt' take more than a half-hour depending on the speed of
the system.
A&R is your friend.
