I'd try resetting the PMU which will also reset the PRAM/NVRAM using these instructions: NOTICE STEP #7, reconnect the AC power adapter BEFORE placing the battery back into the iBook!!! 1)If the computer is on, turn it off. 2)Disconnect the AC power adapter. 3)Remove the battery. 4)Press and release the reset button (shown below) located above the Power button at the base of the display. Use a small, blunt instrument such as a paper clip to press the button. 5)Wait 5 seconds. 6)Reconnect the AC power adapter. 7)Put the battery back in the computer. 8)Press the Power button to restart the iBook computer. If you have all those systems you listed (9.2, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4) I'd strongly suggest limiting it to 10.4.11 and perhaps 9.2.2 if you need it, but surely there are few reasons to have to extra OS X versions and such a fragmented (partitioned) HD. If you transferred or cloned the OS X Systems from another Mac, you'll need to trash the System>Library>Extensions.mkext and System>Library>Extensions.kextcache files (if present) to get it to boot correctly.
