The iMac G5 will not operate on system 10.6. 10.6 requires an Intel processor. The highest you can go with this machine is 10.5.8. Reinstall the lower system. I have no idea how you got the 10.6 on in the first palce unless you installed via target mode or installed externally from an Intel machine or moved the drive from an Intel machine. Here's Apples system requirements: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
