Running on G4 Quicksilver 2002 800MHz
OS X v10.3.9 Starting Up in Darwin Console
How can I fix it or what diagnostic steps could I take to discover the root problem?
Ran Software Update for QuickTime 7.(0.4?) and Safari (version unknown) overnight. Came back the next day, woke up computer and clicked to restart.
Get the initial grey Apple logo screen, then the blue screen and then the OS X startup dialog with the fuel guage. Fuel guage runs to 100% and then I'm dumped into the darwin console (black screen, white letters, command line) with a "login:" prompt.
I log in with a valid username and password and it goes back to the blue screen, and then the OS X startup dialog with the fuel guage and back to the darwin console login.
The system passed Apple's detailed Hardware System Test.
I've started the machine in target mode and copied the files I want onto another machine via firewire, but would rather not take the next step--reformat the hard drive.
