Okay, I just attempted to boot 9A321, I could have sworn I did it before and it worked.. But it was hanging. Verbose revealed that it was actually not 'hung' it was in a crash loop. I am attaching the logs to this post. It appears that loginwindow.app was continuously crashing.
I know for a fact 9A303 works. It's pretty much the same as 9A241. I will continue trying to get this build to work. This was on a 900MHz iBook G3.
Edit: Here's the output for seeing which archs loginwindow supports:
As you can see it says "ppc". In theory it should still work, as applications that are compiled for G4s will usually say "ppc7400".

Code:

Architectures in the fat file: /Volumes/9A321/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow are: i386 ppcWhat about replacing 321's loginwindow.app with 303's and seeing what happens?
So liger is incompatible with ShapeShifter 2.3.1... bummer as I wanted to use Liger, but I couldn’t get ShapeShifter 2.5 to work.
I'd be surprised if any version of it works. Question, are you doing any modifications to shapeshifter? Like forcing it to install, tricking it to thinking it's running on Tiger? Or are you just installing it like normal and it complains it isn't on a supported system?
I had to force Application Enhancer 1.5.1 to install, as that’s the version that works with ShapeShifter 2.3.1... which almost perfectly works on this build. Couldn’t apply any themes though.
Btw I tried this several times and I get errors. Saw it working in a YouTube video… from 2009.
Still can’t find 9A303. All the builds we need are locked up. Can someone please upload them for testing? I have tried uploading several things to BetaArchive but still cannot get access. My G3 ran 9A241 fine. Added some other things to the first post.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/seamonkey-for-ppc/ - this is the current version thus far and it loads all sites without a problem, you mentioned you have a G3. Try it, may work.Man SeaMonkey is spazzing out....
Here are the other builds for anybody interested in this project.
