What firmware update are you referring to? Whatever it was, it's likely the cause of your problems.

Never ever ever ever ever ever ever do updates in the middle of a project. Never.

The other thing is, don't use software update for things like that. Use the Combo update. Search the Apple site for Combo update 10.5.8. Then download and install that. It might correct the problem.
