OK... I have a problem on my 'new' sawtooth 400... I had just finished copying some files from another computer on my home network... the thing hangs when I try to fast user switch to another user (nothing would get it out of it's funk-even waiting)... Then I restart it... boot into single user mode so I can fsck -f... it fixes a couple things and I type in 'reboot' like I always have done in OSX. Then it restarts... get the apple, goes to the service startup window (the window before the login screen that shows the services starting up (redundant, I know). the progress bar goes across about halfway (and it doesn't say anything, like welcome to macintosh or initializing network) and the window fades out and the blue screen fades to black... then it goes to the darwin console... um... I've NEVER had this happen after checking the drives... so anyway... after it does all this it says the following:
Darwin/BSD (localhost) (console)
Login: IP packet filtering initialized, divert enabled, rule-based forwarding enabled, (and so on)
Login:
Not sure what to do, so I log in with my username and pw and it says that I'm logged in... then I tell it to 'exit'... it says loggin off... goes back to the blue screen then it fades out again and goes right back to Darwin except it only has the Login: without all the extra stuff above.
How do I get back to the GUI, dangit!?!
Thanks in advance!

All as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as Love.

Here is an Apple KB reference for you about 10.3 and journaling. You can force fsck to function with the -f parameter. Since journaling is on by default in 10.3, you will need to apply this option. In addition, journaling should eliminate the need for running fsk, except in extreme cases.
To get your machine back up, restart in in Safe Boot mode by holding down the shift key after restarting and hearing the startup chime. Release the key once you see the gray background screen and Apple logo. Once fully booted, restart without the shift key.

Ahh... already tried safe boot... it still does the Darwin thing. Any other ideas?

Guess what? I read this article and then booted into single-user mode... read some of the code and saw that it said the volume was read-only...SO, when to the part of the article that talks about resetting certain priviledges and did that... reboot... BAM... goes right to the login screen... so somehow, it wouldn't boot because my priviledges somehow were revoked and returned to Read only... damn... thanks a ton for all the help!
The code... for those interested is:
Reset certain privileges.
Start up the computer in Single-User Mode.
Check the volume with fsck.
Type: mount -uw /
Press Return.
Type: chmod 1775 /
Press Return.
Type: reboot
Press Return.

Actually, if you want fsck to fix anything on a journaled volume, you need to use the command
fsck -fy
You can use the -fy flags on non-journaled volumes as well.
See: Using Disk Utility and fsck for file system maintenance in Mac OS X.

Sounds like the OS got messed up in some way. Just do a nice clean Archive and Install of OS X and all should be well.

I appreciate the help... but a couple posts up I mentioned I fixed it... just quoting for relevance!  Thanks again for everyone's help.
