It looks like you have the directories corrupted. It's a GREAT New that you can still boot. FIRST: Make a Backup of ALL your files, because I believe they will dissapear. Mac OS X sometimes have problems with Directories. You can try to fix them with Norton System Works, but it's late to fix some things (I hope, I'm wrong). Norton has a great utility named FileSaver and it works making a BackUp of the Directories. If something is wrong, you can Boot from the CD and then restores the Directories as FileSaver makes a BackUp on every shutdown. I have FileSaver on OS 8.6 and fixes things on OS X. You can check for missing files with Norton, but there's no chance to fix everything. Excuse me for my english.
Anyway, I recommend to make a Backup, run Norton to find missing files (backup again), then erase the HD and reinstall everything (including Norton FileSaver).
