Might be a RAM problem, though I don't see how OSX could function for so long and now suddenly refuse.

OSX is much more particular about RAM characteristics than OS9 was. There is a little application, "DIMM First Aid", that will check whether your RAM is up to OSX' demands - I have sent you that in an off-list mail. It is an OS9 application.

Did you ever upgrade your firmware before installing OSX? I know this has to be done on iMacs, maybe it's necessary on your G4 also.

But DO run the DIMM First Aid before any firmware update! If the updater finds any RAM it doesn't like, it will be DISABLED and henceforth invisible to the system - and therefore unavailable to OS9 as well I guess.

And: don't boot or run any disk utility from a 10.2 CD on your 10.3 system!
