[QUOTE="beck76, post: 471789, member: 37027"] In case it helps anybody else - I've got it to work - but am unsure of what actually fixed the problem (if any of the things I did affected anything!): I booted up from the apple hardware test disk and re-ran the extended hardware test (which showed up no problems). I then connected the G5 to another working G5 via an ethernet cable and restarted. The system software loaded up - slowly (don't know why it chose to start up this time), and then I deleted the BootCache.kext file in System/Library/Extensions/ just in case that helped anything. Seems to start up OK now, fingers crossed... I did have to reset the security settings on my connection to my bt home hub - don't know if the wireless router was the initial cause of the problem and the ethernet cable made some sort of difference at startup....
