I just did a Archive and Install option on Leopard, machine does boot, but right as the finder should pop, i get the beach ball of death. cmd-opt-esc shows the finder is not responding. Forcing quiting it get a bit further, my startup items launch, but soon after that finder stops responding again.

Any thoughts on what I can do next?
I'm booting of the DVD right now to repair permission, perhaps that helps.
System won't let me even enter user account to crate a new clean profile.
