[G4] Crying Uncle!

[Jim McMillan]

I'm not so sure but the report suggests a memory issue.

Try refitting the memory.

then

Try startup from the OSX cd and run Apple hardware test.

Like I said but I'm not sure. I had similar reports and founds that  
when I replaced the memory chip all was fixed.

GOOD LUCK
