I posted a message about my 333 mhz Beige G3 & OS X problems.
The replies indicated I was the only one having trouble, so that started
me thinking.
The G3 that gave trouble had;
1 256 MB RAM & 128 MB RAM that was PC 100 & 1 256 MB RAM that was PC 133.
Could that be my trouble?
Not mixing the speeds, no, but if one of your dimms is sub-par, it can cause all sorts of problems. OSX is pickier about memory than OS9 is (though that's more of a problem with newer systems, iirc) so try yanking the chips and booting up with them one at a time and see if you get farther.
A slow process, to be sure, but the only way to really test it.
TechTool pro has a long, rigorous memory test. If you have that it may be worth while to run it.
