    same here, and that was the moments when I was so happy to spend the money on a Time Machine, all I had to do was, Start from the Leopard Install DVD (comand C) and then restore from the latest back up before the DFU script rewright, and then it was goo as new with all the same as before, so take my advise, buy a Time Machine, u wont regretted, and if u have the money to bye an iPhone then u can afford a Time Machine, believe me, its a wonderful tool.

    Peace

    It happened to me as well on my mbp (not unibody). script to mod .kext files did not complete and upon restart I had no trackpad or keyboard and couldn't use external devices as well!! Due to this could not sign into my account to fix the problem. I simply took out the hdd and attached it to another mac n downloaded the 10.5.6 update and installed it on my hdd attached via usb. Just told installer the target drive was usb n when done reinstalled my hdd and everything was back to normal!

    I lost control of my keyboard and mouse on my MacBook as described. My solution was to connect via screen sharing from another Mac. All inputs were working normally with the remote connection. I was able to use my TM backups to restore the latest kernel extensions and resolve the problem. I then used an older 10.5.4 boot volume to complete jailbreaking my iPhone 3G.
