You look like you've been bitten by the white-screen-of-death
rebooting bug ;)

My wallstreet also cannot reboot by itself. Some earlier machines can
be fixed by patching the nvram to idle a second or two so as to allow
the hard drive to spin up. (see the FAQ)

Also check early this months port-macppc for a similiar "me too"
