Thank goodness there's an OS 9 under there! I haven't been able to get past the blue startup screen on a G4 400. It loads up just like normal, shows the desktop for a moment, then goes to the plain blue screen with the rainbow disk spinning. I have left it running for an hour and never got past that stage. Does ANYONE have any viable solutions for this problem. I understand that it's really rare, but others have only been able to fix it doing a clean install. I don't want to have to do that (19GB).
I have tried everything from updating firmware, taking out SCSI cards, checking for 3rd party RAM, disconnecting from ethernet, single-user mode, zapping PRAM. Nothing works. I'm spent!
