Once booted in Drive 1 in safe mode a restart results in the dreaded blue screen as reported earlier.
Perhaps as suggested in an earlier post, Disk Warrior may solve the problem. I know Disk Warrior is great to have in your toolbox. But given Disk Warrior cost more than I paid for the MDD, I will likely just do an Achieve and Install of 10.4 as suggested in another post and hope that solves this weird problem. This in not a production machine so time is relative but dollars are not. :-)
The only reason for Disk Warrior is when Disk Utility reports problems that it can't fix. I don't think that's the issue here.
Since you CAN boot in Safe Boot, the next step is to boot Safe Boot and reinstall the latest Combo Update, then restart and see if you get past the blue screen. I think the reinstall of the Combo Update will likely solve your problem. Before you reinstall the Combo Update, you might run Disk Utility>Verify Disk and if there are any problems, boot a CD/DVD and fix them (if possible) using Disk Utility on the OS X CD/ DVD.
