fat chance you'll get any help beyond being told to go to the local Mac store and spend more money. They won't allow me to even post an opinion on their Apple Aristocracy and the way they look down on us peasants.
The best I can come up with, just from your description, if you have an installation /slash/ rescue disk, boot from that and see if it has a failsafe boot listed. Linux distros usually do and the only time I used the install disk it was a) somebody elses computer and b) the installation worked perfectly. They really do have the best hardware and software in any class of computing, so they'd probably have that function. The error message says Kernel panic. MacOS is a Unix version that isn't exactly the same as Linux, also Unix, but *nix filesystems have a lot of common structure.
So, yeah, reboot in failsafe mode, from the dvd. Get a graphic interface going, and work it with as many disk utilities you can find. Look for log files, I got this url on how to find them. http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/26480/where-can-i-find-my-crash-logs
Since it didn't get to a gui it's most likely a system error rather than a user error.
