Clay, What type of upgrade did you do? A *real* upgrade, or "archive and install?"
In my experience the upgrade almost never works, because it keeps around old drivers and software in the OS that aren't compatible with the new version. Some simple driver such as a network VPN client can keep Leopard from booting. Generally when I do an OS upgrade, I buy a new hard drive and put the old one into an external case as a backup. I do a clean install, and then copy back the applications and user accounts from the command line with cp -a, setting up the permissions by hand with chown/chgrp after making the same accounts with the control panel. I doubt it's a disk space issue, because it won't let you install unless there's enough space. You know it's not a logic board issue if you can still boot from a CD or external firewire drive.
