(also posted in OS X forum, thought I might try here as well)
OK I just iunstalled Panther on my Dad's Cube 450. Upon reboot the finder comes up and Mail and iChat launch. After about 15 seconds they both fail and then the Finder quits and constantly tries to re-launch. After another reboot the Finder is stable, but apps fail. After another reboot Finder is stable, and I can run Address Book and Explorer. Another reboot and everything fails, Finder is cycling again. I ran fsck - nothing, repaired permissions, nothing... The error I get is an exception of type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS - I would cut and paste the full error dialog, but there is no Finder to cut and past.... What a bitch.. This is the third time I have installed panther on 3 different machines, and they have all given me crap.
Any ideas?
Update:
I have some more information about what the error message is:

Update:
Just did a clean install... Same problem. Finder comes up, then some login apps launch then they fail, then the finder fails. I tried pulling the ram... Same problem. Checked firmware version... I am up to date.
WTF?
I have just ruined my father's Cube!

Well, the obvious question would be - did you try a clean Panther install again to see if it works? Could be bad RAM.
