Never had a problem on any of my macs until now!

I just downloaded an update and now when I turn my MBP on it won't boot and the grey start screen has a range of strange text that starts:

panic(CPU 0 caller"..".......

I can't even put the OS disc in the drive and try and boot from that as there is a CD in the dive and the machine pen doesn't load far enough to let me press the eject button!

I am flummoxed!

Any ideas welcome?
 
Is there a little hole near the drive to force the eject?

I do think macosx needs an undo button ;)

Also unplug anything normally plugged in or if there's something that always is and it isn't, plug that in.
 
You can use Cmd +R key this should return you to the recovery partition, then if you have been using time capsule recover a good back-up.. If all else fails book a Genius session with your local Apple store they are very helpful.
 
You could go to the recovery partition and let the mac download a copy of mavericks from the Apple. I think if you get to the recovery partition you may also be able to eject the CD
 
Many thanks folks for the replies, I will give these a try when I get home from work
