Hello,
my G4 running OS 10.1.5 now refuses to boot after a Fink install, I am
writing this mail from another machine. The booting process goes smooth
until the progress bar reaches the end (BTW, shouldn't there be some text
messages near the progress-bar ?), then the screen becomes all blue
(probably that's when the login manager should be started) and remains in
that state (look's almost like a replay of Micro$oft's BSOD, except the
mouse-pointer works :-/). Unfortunately I cannot get network access
through ssh at that point either.
You should try to get some more information about what is happening. Keep cmd-v pressed at boot time until the boot messages start appearing on the screen.

You could also try to boot into single user mode (cmd-s on boot) and check a couple of permissions with ls -la, for example

% ls -lad / /etc /etc/ /var /var/
drwxrwxr-t 39 root admin 1326 Oct 23 19:19 /
lrwxrwxr-t 1 root admin 11 Oct 23 19:19 /etc -> private/etc
drwxr-xr-x 103 root wheel 3502 Oct 17 11:29 /etc/
lrwxrwxr-t 1 root admin 11 Oct 23 19:19 /var -> private/var
drwxr-xr-x 22 root wheel 748 Oct 23 19:19 /var/
