 I'm running out of ideas ;(

 I presume when you booted off the CD, you tried changing the start-up
 disc to the OSX partition?  I may be wrong but checking the partition
 wouldn't necessarily highlight problems with the boot sequence.  If it
 were me, I'd try to re-install OSX although I guess you may have
 already done that?
