Laptop mode also hangs my iBook g4 after updating

I booted to single user ("Linux single" at the prompt)

to remove it too.
 
You can also simply press "Ctrl-D" if this happens and the boot-process will continue.
At least this works for me... Then you can disable the laptop-mode skript, it seems to be buggy.
