We installed first time in a stressy condition the SP1 for a development server (a simple farm installation). In the middle of installation, it is starts behaving like a stranger and finally get craped! The result: Server error http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=96177 when trying to access one of the sites. I tried to sync old content database, but no luck. After requesting an and applying Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 hotfix 936867 our Sharepoint stopped working completely. I've found the following error messages in the application log: In simple, the schema versions of content databases are not consistent between DB Server and MOSS Server as follows
“The schema version (3.0.149.0) of the database SharePoint_AdminContent_0015a5e2-8907-416d-8672-940a68c2c431 on Database Server is not consistent with the expected database schema version (3.1.3.0) on MOSS Server. Connections to this database from this server have been blocked to avoid data loss. Upgrade the web front end or the content database to ensure that these versions match”

Solution: called "stsadm -o upgrade -inplace -url http://{central_admin_url}/"
example., stsadm –o upgrade –inplace –url http://mossserver:17492/
That seemed to have solved the problem.
