I installed iChat AV

and instead of starting up my iMac TFT

displays a grey openfirmware screen like this:

Default catch! code = 300 %SRR0: 01c10fe8 %SRR1: 0003030



I just may select "shut-down" (works) or "mac-boot" (does not work, displays white lines on white screen instead and the system is hanging)

Resetting PR = no effect.

What shall I do?

    can it restart if you hold down the shift key while booting?

    no.

    just pressing the option key gives me a selection of startable systems and the opportunity to open the CD tray to insert an OSX disk. Starting from this disk works, but old system on HD will still not start anymore

    I've been having a terrible time with my G4/400 10.2.6 after installing the iChatAV app.



    Try and boot from Jaguar disc 1 then go FILE > OPEN DISK UTILITY and repair disk permissions on the volume in question.



    This eventually repaired my kernel panics, but only after I'd reinstalled iChatAV (I'd trashed it earlier) and "reverted to iChat 1.0".
