Boot the mac in verbose using Command-V from the time you press the
power button until you see text, that might give you a bit more info. If
you still have the install disk you can boot with it (insert, reboot and
hold the C key) and use Disk Utility to run the "disk first aid" (fsck).

Alsl, booting with Command-S will drop you in single user mode
