Here is the sitrep from Kernel Darwin (8.0.0) and his soldiers:

panic: We are hanging here. . .

This was the successful conclusion of another site:

There was a more recent thread where that "hanging here" message occurred and in that thread the problem turned out to be that the Install CD/DVD being used was not new enough for the Mac in question.
In general you need to use either the Install disks that came with your particular Mac or a retail version of the OS X disks that dates from after the time of release of your Mac model.

Any thoughts?

After looking at the image of the Leopard DVD you sent me, and doing a little research, I have come to the following conclusion:

Finding the Tiger disk you need might be more difficult than I thought. Alos, the Leopard DVD (CPU Drop In) is actually an upgrade. That is why you can't upgrade from Panther to Leo.

Full Leopard: http://torcache.com/...3324B61.torrent (You will need a dual layer disk)

You will not need Tiger if you use the full retail Leo disk.

I am trying to hunt down a Tiger version that will work.

Neither the copy, nor your grandpop's original Tiger install disc worked. The same "we are hanging here" panic happens.

I will need to be in front of the machine. There is a number of other problems that can be causing this error.

Try removing the new memory and install the old modules. Then follow the steps to reset the PRAM and NVRAM here.
