This is a Kernel Panic and it means that something has gone REALLY wrong somewhere along the line--enough so that the Mac OS itself no longer knows what to do. Usually, these happen in response to hardware problems (with peripherals, no necessarily the computer itself). Do you have anything plugged into the iBook when this happens, a mouse perhaps? Has it ALWAYS done this since you upgraded to 10.3, or has it only recently started happening. If the later, have you changed anything since when it did work correctly (i.e. Installed software, changed preferences, etc.)? Sincerely, Scott -- "Oh good!
