Macbook won't boot after Leopard Graphics Update !

Hi guys. Last night I installed Leopard's Graphic Update.

I can't boot my macbook since then. Stuck at the gray screen with apple logo. Here's what I already tried to do:

Boot with leopard DVD and run Repair Disk - it tells me the disk appears to be ok.
If I click on repair permissions tough, it takes a long time and then hangs. Nothing happens, the progress bar even stops spinning.

I then tried to boot with Disk Warrior 4.0 (it's the version I have). I tried reparing disk and files permissions there, and it worked ok. But I can't boot after it as well.

Again in Disk Warrior, I tried clicking REBUILD to get my file directory back and retrieve my files, but after some seconds it states there is not enough memory. I hope this is RAM memory, because I just ordered a pair of ram chips, Im gonna upgrade it to 2gb (I only have 512mb ram, first gen intel macbook core duo)

So ... tried SAFE MODE (shift), nothing.

Single user mode, typing fcsk -y , reports the disk is ok, but nothing as well.

I have a time machine backup from 11 days ago (apple makes it so easy to backup and I cant even bother plugging in my lacie firewire external hd, retarded me), and for me that´s kind of unnaceptable .. I go to university and thats 2 weeks worth of priceless annotations, I really need to get them back.

Any ideas ? =/

Well, my HD isn´t full, it had around 5 gb left.

The only problem is that I´m in Brazil .. macs here are def. hard to find ... just one friend of mine has one, but he just moved ... =/

 

There are no mac stores in Brazil .. they only have authorized dealers, wich by the way are only in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro as far as I know.

There isn´t even an online mac store ...

Well, I´m posting to give some good and bad news.

The bad news is that I still can´t boot. Nothing manages to fix this **

The good news is: my new 2x1GB kingstom arrived today. After installed, DiskWarrior managed to create a new disk directory for me. But even after doing this, repairing all my permissions under diskwarrior, and permissions and repair disk under leopard dvd, I still can´t boot.

The good news then is that trough disk warrior I managed to copy the latest changes to my external HD. Since I have a time machine backup that´s 11 years old I think I will be fine, I´m restoring now.

 

Just finished the restore. Everything is fine now.

It just boogles my mind that Apple can screw my macbook so badly with a "Graphics Update". I really couldn't get it fixed, my only luck was disk warrior being able to read the HD and allowing me to copy its contents to my external hd.
