2008 / 10.5 Update---Ibook assasination

Safe boot should be holding down the shift key when you are booting! You could also try booting up off a MAC system CD or DVD and using the Disk Utility available there to try and repair the permissions and the disk itself!
Yeah, I hold down shift after the chime and release when the gear appears. It never logs in though. It just gets stuck there like when I do a normal boot. I don't have the system cd it is back home. I have my powerbook cd though...could the disk utility on that one help at all?
. I've done the fsck -fy and it said it was ok. Verbose mode keeps telling me it cant map the module and even though it says the loginwindow has started I'm still not getting anything. I must have tried to safe boot a thousand times but it doesn't respond. I am not sure if it is because I can't login at all or if it just isn't working. Is there a command line to safe boot or revert the preferences to an original state? I would just use the 10.5 CD but it is at home in California and I am in Connecticut. So I am trying to figure out something I can do.
