So I finally installed Leopard on my MBP now the thing won't boot. I'm on the phone with Apple now trying to get them to fix this.

What happens instead of booting? Try holding down option while powering on until it brings up a menu, does anything show up as bootable?

Good luck! I upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5 on my Pro at work last week, process went smooth as budda.

Well, it turns on, I see apples and spinning gears, then I get a grey screen with a cursor. That's all.

hmmm that's usually bad

Can you hold down option as it boots? Maybe try.... 'upgrading' again, can't get much worse!

Okay the Mac is back. It looks funny now but at least it's working.

I ended having to to do an 'archive and install' since the direct upgrade made my machine a very expensive paperweight.
