I just installed a fresh install of OSX - Jaguar and it installed without problem, but now I cant load anything! It loads up the grey screen with the apple, and then all of a sudden it gives me 2 white bars, and then completely locks up.

Any ideas?

I just installed Panther on a 233 Bondi with 160 MB RAM.
It runs fine.

Try upgrading your firmware:
