OutOfControl (greydavenport) Mac OS

Preamble: I was an active member at one time, but it's been several years, and I can't remember my username, so new one here. Apologies for not being a forum denizen and just creating an account to post this issue.
I have a Macbook Aluminum from 2008, installed OSX 10.6.3 disc last year when everyone stopped supporting 10.5. Over about the last month, it's been running significantly more slowly. Yesterday, the screen simply froze and wouldn't respond to CMD+OPTION+ESC or any input, including power button. I unplugged it and let the battery run down to zero. When I reconnected the power and started it up again, it wouldn't boot properly. It hangs at a blank gray screen for a very long time, then goes to the Apple logo/spinning 'gear' screen, where it stays indefinitely (I left it up for a few hours yesterday).
I've tried as many of the steps from Mac's support site (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570) as I can. It seems to have let me clear the NVRAM/PRAM, but it doesn't seem to take any other keyboard input -- it won't, for example, do a Safe Boot, no matter how long I hold the Shift key, nor move to any screen except (when it eventually loads) the Apple logo. I CANNOT BOOT FROM THE INSTALL DISC -- if I try to start the computer with the disc in the drive, it just makes a kind of periodic pulsing noise for a while, then ejects the disc.
Is this a failing/failed hard drive issue? (And, if so, can I recover any of my data?) I've never changed the hardware on this comp except for a battery replacement last year. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't have a warranty or support plan anymore, so I'd like to try to resolve this myself if at all possible.
Additional info:
I backed up to an external HDD with Time Machine no more than a few days ago, but I'd like to retrieve the data written since then if at all possible.
Possibly unrelated, but my DVD drive's had problems. The sound of it loading and spinning a disc has gotten a lot louder -- almost sounds like crunching -- and makes loud buzzing noise when the disc ejects. A few months ago it actually cracked a DVD in half and ejected the pieces, so I've (understandably) refrained from using it.

You can also use nfs to share your linux files to to a OS X box. Since Linux and OS X are unix based OS's nfs might even be faster/better. You can even get the permissions and users/groups to match up..but you may have to edit the user/group ID's on one of the machines...

I have no problems nfs mounting an exported dir from a solaris box on MacOS X, but I have not been able to get such to work mounting an exported dir from a Linux host. I've tired kernels 2.2.14 and 2.4.17 and both seem to work on the mac side in that the mount does not return an error. But the mount also does not actually work, the mounted-on dir ends up in a funny state where any access ges an 'operation not permited' error and df does not list the mount.
any ideas?

I've used a couple of versions of netatalk (including the current v1.5.2) on Redhat v7.1 and Mac OS X 10.1.x will never connect properly. i get to the point where I select the volume I want and a message 'The file server connection has unexpectedly closed down'. Any ideas?
This same server works just fine when connecting under Mac OS 9.

The fix for this is actually pretty dumb. Add a login message to the server in the netatalk.conf (I think). It will only show the first word and it's kind of annoying every time you log into a server but it gets you there.

Could you please tell me how to add a 'server message' to the netatalk.conf file? I did a 'man netatalk.conf' and couldn't find any references to that.
From OS9 I can mount volumes from my YellowDog Linux server. From OSX I get:
'The file server 'localhost' connection has unexpectedly closed down.'

I was having the same problem...
I added the following to the afpd.conf file.
- -loginmesg 'welcome'
(thats two '-' at the begin)
so thanks JessamyG4 for the tip

I am currently using Redhat 7.0 (Yes I know already ...) and everything is working fine. I was able to login with no problems and I have not experienced any unrequrested logouts either.
The current release seems to be quite stable, so far.

After doing some snooping through the Netatalk 1.5.2 make file and the man pages I figured it out.
The previous install was v1.5.0pre6, was installed using the RPM at sourceforge. Because it was a Redhat-specific install everything went in a Redhat-specific place (I really hate that). Unfortunately, The RPM puts things in different places than 'make install' does when compiling from the source code. A quick look at /var/log/messages showed that even with v1.5.2 installed v1.5.0pre6 was still starting up.
So basically, I had to remap a couple things on my Linux box:
1. Modify the /etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk script to point to /usr/local/sbin instead of /usr/bin
2. Create a link from /etc/atalk (the existing netatalk config files) to /usr/local/etc/netatalk (where the v1.5.2 install expects to find them).
I figured this was easier than trying to figure out how to properly remap paths in the make file to match up with where the rpm install put everything.
Everything's good now, and iTunes can finally get to my mp3 stash. Hurray!

Use Adrian Sun's version of netatalk. It works flawlessly. It will say +asun in the package name

As a previous poster said, both linux and OS X support NFS. Another option is to install samba on the linux box and use OS X's smb capability.

dont know if this has changed -- but the last time I tried doing something like this I found out that only HFS is supported, not HFS+!

This hint does not discuss mounting linux volumes as local volumes on a OS X machine, or vice versa. It is discussing the mounting of linux volumes over a network. The local filesystem in use by either linux or OS X is completely irrelevant.

Hello!!
I've used both. NFS and Netatalk.
And what I've seen, is that Netatalk is faster then NFS(UDP), but NFS is way more stable. Netatalk quits and gives error's, NFS doesn't do that.
Now if your running just OS 9, use Netatalk. NFS support on OS 9, sucks!!
If your running OS X, use NFS!!!!!
Plus the Appledouble problem doesn't happen with NFS.
My people haven't *itched about the connection closing on me, anymore!!!
And oh yeah the Box is a G3 233mhz with 80GB, running LinuxPPC using the 2.4.18 kernel.

We have had no problems here with Netatalk 1.5pre8 on a Linux Mandrake box.
I mount a Netatalk volume to listen to about 20GB of music every day / all day.
No problems at all.

Do you find that any file names longer than a certain number of characters (is it 32?) do not appear when you browse the files through Netatalk? A small thing perhaps, but it certainly interferes with the longish filenames of my old time radio shows....

Am i missing something here, but I thought Netatalk was to enable a nix like os to provide Appletalk filesharing?
