It has been reported in the past that some makes of non Apple RAM (unsupported) has caused this type of problem. If you have fitted additional RAM which was non genuine Apple it would be worth trying to do the update installation after removing this RAM. You can add the additional RAM back after completing the update.

The update was downloaded from http://www.apple.com/support/ downloads/macosxupdate1041.html All the machines are of the same vintage (2 eMacs and 6 flat panel iMacs) and were purchased at the same time, except to say that the iBook had a 900 Mhz. motherboard installed under warranty a few months ago. My home machine, a 1 Ghz. 17" flat panel iMac Super Drive wont accept the update and a friend who has a 1 Ghz. eMac tells me that his wont either, The update was only downloaded once.

I now wait with interest to see what happens when it becomes available via the Systems Updater.

Having Fun!
