I also had a hairy few hours when I installed as an upgrade only and had a spinning ball for several hours on the load up.

Restarted and reinstalled after replacing only the system folder and have been flying ever since and no crashes, hangs etc since this morning.Certainly is working very smoothly on the G4 PB 1.67 with 1.5G of ram.

Now to try it in the Imac and the wife's Macbook!!

Here on my Dual 1.8 G5.

I had a bloody scary 2 hours after the installation whereby it appeared my keychain (complete with 150 passwords) was deleted.

After no immediate luck with local Apple support (not through lack of trying - 10.5 is a new beast), I was transferred to the German support unit, which interestingly, is station in Ireland. : )

After following some of their advice, then somewhat riskingly ignoring it and using text edit to view the contents of a file, I discovered my keychain had been renamed.

I renamed the keychain back to 'login.keychain', The tech support guy and I had a laugh, and all appears to be well.

So the lesson here is to back up any important data. There didn't seem to be any option as to different methods of upgrading, so back up the things you need.

And to quote Mr. Adams - 'Don't Panic.'

Cheers,

P.S. As of this message, software update is not working for me under 10.5. I'm guessing it will get fixed at the server end.
