My son called to tell me he has suddenly run into a problem with
his G4 Quicksilver, running 10.3.x. Out of the blue it has begun to
display a strange message at boot. When he powers up the machine
now he goes directly into a grey screen that begins to fill up with
what he describes as "gibberish" text, and it finally ends with the
phrase "we are hanging here".
He cannot start with extensions off, and cannot boot from a CD.
There seem to be no options available to this sequence.
He says he does not recall any precipitating event -- no suspicious
e-mails or any out-of-the-ordinary attachments. This just started
one day when he powered up.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

the machine is booting in verbose mode. There is likely some
hardware issue. Memory has always been the suggestion as a place to
start. In my case, it was the HD.
Cheers,
