When I load the my powerbook I get a weird message telling me I have to restart the computer, but when I do it gives me the same message. The message won't go away and won't let me load OSX. I don't have the manual so I can't check the troubleshooting section. Anyone know what this is about? Any suggestions how to fix it or bypass it. The computer is completely unusable like this.

It's a PB G3 with OSX 10.2 or .3, by the way. Please help.
12" PowerBook G4 - 1.33 GHz 768 MB RAM - OS X 10.5.1

What's a "kernel panic"? (Mac OS X)

Usually a hardware defect. Try booting off the system disk and/or the hardware diagnostics disk.
