Snow Leopard won't reboot after recent Security Update

This has happened to me after a recent Security update from Apple. Went to restart, and Mac just hung for ages with pinwheel spinning. Eventually turned off at back of Mac Mini. Trying to reboot and it just hangs on grey screen with Apple logo and spinning grey dial.

"Okay, I managed to get this resolved.

Tried all the various options suggested by people below but didn't work. In the end I called AppleCare and they informed I should reinstall Snow Leopard again. I wouldn't lose any files/BootCamp partition etc, but would need to carry out System Update again.

Simply insert Snow Leopard CD at boot and hold down the 'C' key. Will initiate reinstall which could take ~45 mins.

Case closed :)"
