Right after I hit [Enter], however, Apple's Authentication Framework prompted me again for the admin password, so I entered it there. So I think not entering the admin password at Automator's prompt is what screwed things up for me, but all's well that ends well, right?

Thanks again!

cp -Rp "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/[username]/path/to/Backup_IOUSBFamily_kext_10_5_6/"*.kext .

5) Change the user and group ownership of the kernel extensions to root and wheel respectively using the following syntax:

chown -R root:wheel AppleUSBHub.kext
chown -R root:wheel IOUSBCompositeDriver.kext

If you just want back to 10.5.6 clean, download the Combo Update here and run it.

Could you explain how I can do this through a boot from the DVD? As my keyboard and trackpad do not work in the safe mode.

The only option I have now is to fix it through terminal or go for a re-installation of OS X right? Will I be able to do a archive and install of the OS? Or will I need to go for a fresh install?

Thanks

Thats what I did:
1. Got the (virgin) new MacBook 2.4 GHz unibody from my dealer, set up the system at home.
2. Was at Mac OS X 10.5.5, iTunes 7.7.1...
3. Tried DFU mode and got error 2001 (as expected)
4. Started System Extension "Software Update" and hit "Look for Update now"
4. Had to run it twice, got all upgraded, including 10.5.6, EFI Firmware, Trackpad FW,...
5. Tried DFU mode and got error 2001 (as expected)
6. Downloaded and installed "Combo Update 10.5.6" from Apple. i always use the Combo Updates, never the regular ones. saved me lots of trouble over the past years.
7. Tried DFU mode and got error 2001 (as expected)
8. Places the folder "Install_IOUSBFamily_kext_10_5_5" on the Desktop (important), opened it and ran "Fix_DFU_10_5_6". Same procedure as described, reboot at the end
9. Could use my iPhones in DFU mode with iTunes - voila
