shutdown and reboot with the system cd, holding down the c key. You can TRY fixing the disk with the disk utility on the startup cd. You can also try holding down the control-v keyes.. this should bring you up in verbose mode, it should give some indication where in the boot process your system is going astray. but in the end, I feel that you are going to be doing a reinstallation of the software. Hopefully you have an alternate boot partition or boot device or have backed up your user data and any critical files.
