My Dell mini 9 with OSX 10.5.7 won't boot, it spins at the grey apple screen for a while then it reboots over and over. -x doesn't help. -v didn't show any obvious errors. I used -s to go into command line, /sbin/fsck -fy didn't find any problems. Any ideas on how to disgnose the problem? Thanks in advance!

My ultimate solution was to install Snow Leopard. Took quite a bit of effort but I finally got it to work. At least SL takes up less disk space so I have more room now.
