Just had the same problem with our iMac G5 after using Applejack. Fans 
would not shut off.

Solution was to shutdown and then unplug the machine for 15 or 20 
minutes; worked like a charm.

If that doesn't work, try resetting the PRAM (holod down Option key+ 
apple key+P+R at start up and wait for three or more bongs) or the 
NVRAM (option+apple key+O+F at start-up; release the keys when you see 
writing on the screen and
wait for the writing to stop loading, then type each of the following 
(press Return at the end of each line):
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
Then hit Return to reboot the computer will boot.
