Hmm..

this is a long shot, but try:

dsl dma

at the boot prompt and see if it helps.

I had the same problem with my Satellite 2595CDT. When the boot finally aborted to the console, I typed this in: sudo fsck -f -y /dev /hda2 (this would be whatever partition you choose). This command forces a disk check, and tells the system to fix all errors it comes across. After this completed, I was able to boot my system normally. This is a dangerous command, so use it at your own risk!
