Sorry but that I tried that and it didn't work... several times in
several ways... some of the backups I saved are from that procedure.
somewhere I read that not ALL the critical files are reinstalled during
that procedure.... and it must be those files causing the problem.
TechToolps Pro, Disk Warrior, repair permissions, and PRAM resetting
were also run on these drives and eventually came up clean.... but the
core problem still existed.
I ran into some problems reinstalling because the drives had been
updated with System Update and the installer couldn't write over that
version... when it did, the System Update would still freeze, so I
couldn't take get back to 10.3.9, where I started.

OK... here's one for you. Any ideas before I toss the backed up
system files as useless?
This is precisely what Archive and Re-installs fix.
Boot from the 10.3 CD, and install OS X , you will be given the option
of doingan Archive & Reinstall, keeping your user data. Do that.
The immediately run all the updates, and you should be up and running.
