Problems updating to 10.6.5

[msbenn67]

Has anyone had success updating to 10.6.5 with a similar build. I believe the nvidia card is causing the problem. Everything works great with 10.6.4 but I can not update. I've tried updating with the combo and stand-alone packs. I've tried re-appling the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] with the same install options after the update. I've tried just re-installing the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] after the update. All result in a CP upon re-boot. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
