I am running JBoss 3.2.3 with JDK 1.4.2_04 and was having the same problem (although I never let mine go beyond 3 restarts, so I don't know that it ever finished).
To fix this I looked at my run.bat that had the following: set JAVA_OPTS=-server -Xms128m -Xmx512m %JAVA_OPTS% This worked in previous versions of the JDK (I recently upgraded). After removing the -server option, everything started up fine. If this doesn't work for you, maybe someone else will have a solution. As a note, this is my development environment so this will work fine, but may not be an acceptable solution in other circumstances.
