[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 762879, member: 8287"] The screen while booting from the 10.4.8 DVD in many languages is a Unix Kernel Panic. One of the biggest causes I have found of Kernel Panics are bad RAM but I am wondering in your case as it worked before you messed with that OS9 thing you downloaded. I wonder if it's something on the hard drive and when the OSX Tiger DVD checks it the KP happens. Not sure in this case since you said it worked fine before your OS9 install. I had an older G4 powermac that got a KP with both a Panther 10.3 and Tiger 10.4 Media but not with 10.2. Turned out to be bad Cache on the CPU board. For the fun of it, disconnect the hard drive and try booting with that DVD. Just a stab in the dark so to speak. [/QUOTE]
