I have an old PowerMac G4 (AGP Graphics), which has served me dutifully for a long time.
However, I recently took all but 128mb of the ram out to temporarily use in other computers, and when I went to put the modules back in, basically none of them worked.
Here's the deal:
I have 2 256 modules, and when I put those in my computer, whether individually, together, or with other modules, I get this message on-screen and the computer does not boot:

localhost:/ root# []

Similarly, I have 3 128mb sticks, but if i put more than one in the computer at a time, i get the same message. I'm thinking the computer may have some issue with more than 128mb of ram, but why all of a sudden?
I don't really know anything about code or whatever the computer is trying to tell me.
If anyone knows what the issue might be, I would greatly appreciate their advice.
Thanks in advance!
