Hey there! I'm posting this here as I'm completely out of ideas... Just in case somebody has any pointers or ran into a similar issue, I'm all ears.
What I currently have is a Power Mac G4 MDD (2002, dually 1 GHz) that I've been trying to slowly trying to restore.. So far so good, it used to boot up on first try.
But, since a few days, it more often than not either completely locks up at boot (either showing "still waiting for root device" endlessly), or gets stuck around this stage:

And now it's gotten worse, it hands out kernel panics like free candy, every time it's a different error message:




I tried reseating the RAM modules, this did help somewhat, as in, I could boot once, but then it started becoming unstable again.
I took off the CPU card to repaste the CPUs before I ever tried to power it up... Maybe on the off chance that I bent some pins.
I'm gonna see if I can burn a ASD disk, I found a IDE DVD drive in my parts bin.. AHT didn't report any faults whatsoever (tried to do five rounds of extended testing, still nothing)
Kind regards,
Alexis
