Sorry to jump on here but I'm having a similar issue and no sense starting a new thread.
I've got a late 08 Macbook Pro alu.
The problem started 2 weeks ago when I installed the combi update for 10.5.8.
After installation my mac would only go so far as the white logo screen and nothing further.
I've inserted the OSX disc and held 'C' when booting but it wont load the disc, I've tried selecting the CD from the options when I hold the Options (alt) button but nothing, it just gets stuck at the logo screen and the disc spins down.
I've got a time machine backup that I can restore from but I cannot get to that option.
I've got a boot camp XP partition that works fine but alas my much treasured OSX install might as well be Windows 3.1 for all it helps.
I've tried removing the Applications Enhancer by booting into single user mode (CMD+S) but even when thats loading it gets stuck on some 'Loading Kernel' and I cant get to the actual prompt.
I've tried everything I can think of.
Any onther ideas would be greatly appretiated.
Thanks
