We had installed S10 11/06 (Update 3) on a couple of Toshiba Satellite D820s without any issues. Everything worked except for the audio. I guess you will have better luck trying out 11/06. For the current problem try this: Boot into failsafe mode and rebuild the boot_archive. rm /a/platform/i86pc/boot_archive bootadm update-archive -R /a Reboot and select the first entry in Grub.
