Hi Brian,
I’ve been looking through your Console messages more thoroughly this morning,
it’s a bit of a mess.
Are you running any third party utilities or anything that might modify the
caches?
I ask because your bootup caches appear to have been modified...

Are you running the latest version of YASU? I personally don’t use these sorts
of apps.
Many are more problematical than the problems they profess to solve.
It is not necessary to clear the cache on any regular basis. In fact, your
cache may be corrupted.
Clearing the cache makes the next boot take a long time as the system restored
the cache.
>> /Library/ScriptingAdditions/24U Appearance OSAX.osax/Contents/MacOS/
>> 24U Appearance OSAX: mach-o, but wrong architecture
This error message is telling you that the found scripting extension ("osax")
is the wrong architecture.
This means that the "Appearance OSAX.osax" file was found, but it just contains
code for the PPC Mac architecture & not code for the Intel architecture your
Mac was looking for. (in other words it is not a Universal or Intel binary.)
If you do not need to use 24U Appearance OSAX uninstall it. If you need to use
it … uninstall the version you have and download and install a Universal or
Binary version.
It might have been installed when you installed perhaps ‘TrashIt’ or something
similar.
You can find the 24U OSAX either your /Library/ScriptingAdditions/ folder or
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions/, depending on what you select (All Users or
Current User, respectively).
If you remove it (/Library/ScriptingAdditions/24U Appearance OSAX.osax) the
message should go away.
Other applications put their versions of an OSAX in there also, so you might
want to clean house.
Just be careful with what you remove as some apps won't work without them!
MenuCracker?
I’m unsure what to suggest you do now, some might suggest a ‘clean install’ of
Leopard.
Clean up your Leopard System, uninstall ‘extras’ / addons / extensions you are
not using or are not up to date.
'Repair Disk' & 'Repair Permissions' (following the instructions in my previous
email) and let’s see if there is any improvement.
Cheers,
Ronni
