Mostly it is a hardware related problem such as Diskfailure. Try to startup from the Tiger installation disc and go to Utilities/Disc Utility. Check/repair your disc structure / filesystem and file-permissions. If it's the harddisc it will show up in this programm. If so; connect your Mac to another Mac with a firewirecable and try to save your files etc. After that you will have to exchange your harddisc. Goodluck! Greetings from the Netherlands / Germany |

How much space (total/empty) do you have on your Mac? Is it over 15% of the disk size? IF not, clear more space. And use OnyX to run some maintenance. Find hte install discs that came with that Mac and run Apple Hardware Test on them after the above is done. Select extended mode and run it in loop (ctrl-L) for an evening or overnight. This should check any minor RAM issues and will diagnose any other hardware issues. For RAM, it's needed usually to run it a few hours as not all RAM problems show at startup. (there's also more on the hardware tests in the HOWTO section of the boards).

Follow these steps to use a command line Unix checker that most repair use. So use Apple's article: Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck and run the fsck command. See if it reports any errors and if it does that means your hard drive went six feet under. If it doesn't and the startup issue still happens it means that the logic board (iBooks are famous for dying logic boards when they old) and you are SOL.
