John,

Space is important as but it should work with the 8GB
For boot on your G4, it requires Apple Partition Map, your Mac Pro
requires GUI to boot
you mentioned it being Journaled but you need to ck, under options in the
Partition window, if your F/W disk is partitioned as Apple Partition Map
not GUID so it will boot on your G4

I use 3rd party memory, Apple will state what you said, but it works fine
for most people, no problem, so I don't think that is the issue, rather
the former that I have mentioned.

Sorry about your Wife, hope she will feel better

Best Regards
Fred
