After applying the latest security update I have had problems booting my G5 Dual 2gz Power Mac.
I have run Disk Warrior Pro, which sorted some problems. When I restart it will boot in "Safe Boot." However will not reboot again again until I run Disk warrior again.
How can I find out what is causing it to boot in safe - if I can track this I should be able to boot normally.
Any help appreciated.

Sorry about that, fellow DP 2.0 owner. What happens when you try to boot normally, exactly? The first step would probably be an Archive and Install, although I cannot say that with certainty without knowing more of the details of the error that is occurring.

Not alot! - it remains at the grey screen with apple and moving circle thingy- I have left it for a couple of hours and it still remains at this point. I am trying to avoid an archive and restore - but may yet have to give in.

I am able to boot now - but only in safe mode.
How can I discover what the problem is that is casusing this? Or I am better off doing an archieve and restore?
Thanks

If you have any third-party kernel extensions or startup items, you could try disabling those. Archive and install might actually be faster, though.

Did you try booting into Single User Mode, then run fsck -y to repair any problems?
To get into Single User Mode, hold down Command-S during boot.

It's fsck -yf to force the check despite journaling. It is a good idea to do it.

At last I have done an archive and restore - and all seems to be working well.
Thanks for your help!
