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:
waiting,dictID=07.,key.10provider
classL/key><stringIO=1>10resources</string><key>IOresoruceMatch</key><string>ID="2".boot-uuid-media</string></dict>gotbootdevice=10service:/core99PE/pci@f2000000/AppleMacRiscPCI/PCI-bridge@DKOPC12PCEBridge/Mac-io@7/

in6-ifattach-Linclocal:failed to configurea linc-local address of Lo0
errno=55 -- NOTE -- may not be 55 as the "5's" were split b/n lines)
in6-ifattach:l00failed to attach a lincLocal address

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.
