HELP HUGE OS X PROBLEM!!!!!

Ok HUGE problem, I just installed OS X Tiger on my g3 lombard, it ran perfectly, that later on in the day I restarted and when I did the gray screen with the dark grey apple in the middle, and the botton cricle-lines that keeps spinnign appears and it stays like that, the only way I can turn it off is to unplug it from the power adapter. Is there any way I can do a safe mode boot, I mean I do still have the OS X Tiger discs....

George,
If the computer is off, you can power on while pressing the shift key to enter Safe Mode:

A few questions...
- Have you been successfully running 10.2.x or 10.3.x with the exact same memory configuration, or is this the first time for OSX on this 'book?
- How much memory is installed and in which slot?
- Have you tried a PRAM reset?

- Disconnect any and all peripherals while troubleshooting this issue.
