Hi,
I have 2 PowerMac G4s Dual Ghz (Mirror Drive Doors) using Jag 10.2.1 that are crashing on boot up. They have the apple startup screen and the little status round thing ticking away for about 3 mins and then boom... it just stops and stays frozen. This happens both when I just start the machine with the installed OS and when I use the OS install or the restore disks. A hardware check comes up clean.

When I boot verbosly the computer throws the following error message when it crashes/halts
/etc/rc: line 247: 111 Hangup SystemStarter -g ${VerboseFlag} ${SafeBoot}

I have zaped the PRAM, fsck, removed everthing except the keyboard and monitor from the connections on back. Both of them stop at the same spot. They are both fresh out of the box so nothing has been installed on them either. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
