Existing users, 
Installed as upgrade from 10.2.8 to 10.3.
All seemed to go well, but my G3 will not boot now. I can get back into OS9 (eventually) but otherwise no-go.
Done this install 3 times now (which took ages to install) and same result each time.
Boo Hoo, and I have to pay to register and try and get my system back?

Won't Boot - jtfolden
Loosing the display on certain G3's is a known issue and actually a driver conflict that affects certain systems running 10.2.x or that have had the OS upgraded 10.2.x to 10.3 instead of freshly installed. Search the Apple Discussion forums for the fix. it involved removing certain ATI video drivers. I was banging my head on the wall trying to figure out what was wrong with my G3 AIO until I found this fix. I didn't have the problem under a fresh install of 10.3, either.Tuesday, June 08 2004 @ 01:03 PM PDT
Won't Boot - Deep Blue--2008
After 4 days of trying... removing ram, pci cards, formatting hd, low-level formatting all zero's, zap pram, reset pci slots on logic board, new hd, minimal ram, new cmos battery, new processor... I have got XpostFacto to work fine.Occassionally I loose my display, it sleeps and it never comes back till a hard reboot, but in all fairness, this may well be my G3's hardare probelm.
it works fine now, thank you :-)
