I have this weird boot issue with snow leopard.When i turn on my pc i would get to the apple thing and no loading circle. So i have to reboot and it would suddenly show up after the second boot.

Try booting in verbose mode ("-v" as a boot flag) and report back here what it's saying when it fails.

Field Note #2 @Gurruwiwi 2009-11-02

I get that sometimes with my Dell Mini 9 and SL.

I never remember to boot verbose though. Will post up next time
