So for all those that were unaware, i recently did a trip to Sydney. (the trip was excellent btw 
) Anyway, after arriving at the hostel and settling in and everything, i decided that the first place i should go to, although is not very touristy (
) is Microseconds, to try and get parts for my iMac. I had to wait for about half an hour, (i found a seedy lil netcafe with "31337" on all these riced up PCs which i killed time at), but they came through BIG TIME, and i ended up picking up an entire, complete logicboard/mass storage tray assembly (minus CD-ROM/HDD) and 2 128MB SODIMMs for $110.
Anyway, fast forward to last week, when i started work on the iMac. I put my iMac's CD-ROM and a 80GB 7200rpm Western Digital that i got from a free PC in the new subassembly and put it in my iMac. Booted perfectly off an OS 9 CD. So i decided to do a OS 9 install followed by an OS X install, so that i could dual boot both OS's, like i could before it died. The OS 9 install was uneventful, and the Mac booted up perfectly (and VERY quickly!!!!!!) into OS 9. In OS 9 the iMac is just perfect. Its very fast, and reliable. So then i decided to try Jaguar.
I put the Jaguar CD in, and it booted off the Jag CD. The install went uneventful, but then after the install, i rebooted into Jaguar off the hard drive. Which is where my problem is.
When i install Jaguar on the HD, no matter what i do, it always KPs. The Apple logo comes up, and then the screen gets all distorted and stuff. I've booted it up in verbose mode, and when it gets to this stage, its KPing. I've reseated and switched around my RAM. i've run it through TTP 3, and it passed with flying colours. I've put the original RAM in, i've done all sorts of stuff. But no matter what i do, when i boot off the HD, it always KPs. I've also tried another HDD. The RAM i am using in it are both 128MB PC100 SO-DIMMs, one's a Micron CL2 module, and one's a Hyundai CL3. I'm a bit curious about the CL3. Is it ok to mix both CL2 and CL3, and also, does CL3 RAM work ok with OS X? I'm just curious, as from what i've heard, CL2 is always the best to use. I've tried with just the CL2 in and the other slot empty, but to no avail.
The only thing i can think of is this: IIRC, i've had this problem before, and i managed to fix it by doing a 10.1 install, and then updating that to 10.2. I'm going to try that tomorrow, and i hope it works, because if it doesn't, and unless you guys can come up with something, i'm out of ideas.
Thanks in advance for your help and for reading this post

While I was coercing Tiger on to my G3, I got KPs during the installation when it tried to boot from the hard drive for the first time. It turned out to be being caused by both the hard drive I was installing to and a kext - I found
