To all, Linda is right... The last time I had a kernel panic attack was with 10.1.x.... So, the image at the web site that Linda mentions is what I saw. Thanks Linda.... Still, the G4 17 " is running well after physically removing the ram and reseating the two modules I have.

I think it is the kernel panic alert -- I've seen it more times than I wish. Apple changes the look of it every now and then; it's no longer the screen full of text, as that all gets stored in the crash logs instead, and it might be light or dark in color.
