The multilingual message is definitely a kernel panic. It is most likely a hardware problem. Could be the RAM like you mention. What version of the OS are you running? If you did any update recently, it could also be the mouse.

Try removing the extra memory and the mouse and try booting. See what
happens. If it boots OK a few times, then plug back the mouse and try again.

Thanks Laurent. It's 10.3.9, I put 10.3.0 in the earlier email. Still have the Newton?

Can anyone who has done an archive and install share what exactly it does, and how well it does it? :)

I have done it dozens of times, upgrading systems. I've only ever had this fail twice (both recently for some reason) and in neither case did I lose any data. In both of these cases I suspect underlying hardware issues: one of the systems was displaying a lot of problems before I tried this.

What happens in an A&R is that the installer moves the System folder, Apple-installed applications, the Library folder and all the unix underpinings to a new folder called previous systems.

Then a new system is installed, the existing user database from netinfo is added to the system, and voila, new system, same old users.
