My G4 was running slowly, and safari refused to start at all, so I rebooted. Got nothing but the blue screen. Rebooted again and got the gray screen with the spinning logo.
Rebooted in single-user mode and got something (I didn't write it down) about having trouble with something on a usb port (no. 2), but then supposedly it fixed that. But it wouldn't go to the "local host" section, so I could run fsck. Tried booting into safe mode and couldn't do that. Tried single-user mode again (after unplugging just my usb printer.
Got a whole bunch of writing, which I did write down (though I realize now I can't read very well!
It includes:

OK -- any help here? I have never had this happen before. I do have diskwarrior. I haven't tried it yet b/c I can't even get the machine booted.
Please help.
