Unfortunately, without a backtrace I can't be any more help. If you can connect a firewire cable between your two PowerMacs you can use ddb over dcons. You will have to load dcons.ko and dcons_crom.ko from the loader on the G5, then use dconschat from your G4 to connect to ddb. I use this method to debug on my machines all the time. More info on this method can be found at http://wiki.freebsd.org/DebugWithDcons - Justin
