restarting after sleep after update
I can't be the only one having this problem. After the last OSX update (Leapard), every time I try to sleep my iMac, it restarts instead. I am running a first gen iMac G-5 (without cam) 1.8 with 1 gig Ram.
Any ideas on how to cure this?

Re: restarting after sleep after update
I'm having my own private war with 10.5.6. My new Quad-Core wakes from Sleep in a highly unstable state after the update. The cursor freezes in between flitting around the screen randomly, and the OS is dicey.
It was practically a virgin install of the OS, and checked by Disk Utility before updating (I'd taken my time getting around to setting it up since I couldn't use Migration Assistant to move from my old PPC G5 to an Intel).
I got quite a lot of RSVPs over @ the Apple Discussions BB from ppl with the same problem. Short of back-stepping to 10.5.5, I haven't seen a solution posted yet. I'm simply turning it off each night, hoping for a fix from Apple.

Re: restarting after sleep after update
The only time my MBP shuts completely down in sleep mode is when it auto sleeps due to the battery being drained. This happens after it appears to go into sleep mode but when I plug it in and attempt to wake it I get the gray screen and then see the Apple logo as the machine is restarting. This should not happen.

Re: restarting after sleep after update
I'm not saying that this will fix your problem, but did you either let Software Update do the 10.5.6 update or use the 10.5.6 update? There have been problems when folks use the X.Y.Z to X.Y.Z+1 update rather than using the 10.5.6 combo update which can update Macs with any version of 10.5 to 10.5.6 (though, to be sure, the last link specifically says it is for 10.5.1 through 10.5.5). While the latter is a heftier download (372 vs 668 MBs, respectively), it may solve quirky problems such as the one you are experiencing.
