Probably a system.kext problem. Open the Terminal and enter "uname -a" it will return you current Kernel. Then got to /System/Library/Extensions peform right-click on system.kext and select Informatiosn - compare the system.kext version with the one of your Kernel.

but more importantly id like to upgrade to 10.5.8 and am not really sure how to go about it. I am going to start reading around now see what i can find. But any input on that would be really really appreciated.

I recommend you to do a Back-Up. Then upgrade your bootloader to Chameleonv 2 RC1 or similiar as you planned. Replace dsmos.kext or AppleDecrypt.kext (depending on what you are using) with
netkas latest fakesmc release and install
Disabler.kext if you don't have it yet. Next get the
DSDT Patcher GUI from pcwiz with NewHPET option to your Leopard HD (might not be required but doesn't hurt
).
Optionally do a Back-Up of your current Kernel and Extensions folder - this is usually not needed on Vanilla-able machnies, but I prefer to do it the safe way.
On Terminal:
sudo -s
cp /mach_kernel /bak_kernel
cp -R /System/Library/Extensions /Extensions_bak
Now give it a shot and apply the 10.5.8 Combo Update - it migth need a second attempt to boot into your system again.
Hopefully everything will be fine.
