Sunday the computer was fine, yesterday all restarts were in Darwin. Is this a common problem?
Ran TechTool, made repairs however problem still there.
OS 10.4.11
Answer
Probably not really the Darwin OS that you see unless you or another user decided to install it. Maybe you are seeing a kernel panic. One of the lines of info on screen may mention the Darwin kernel version. That's part of Apple's implementation of FreeBSD UNIX. What is the wording of the last line or two on the screen? Does it say something like "panic: We are hanging here..."?
You mention TechTool found some problem, and it is "still there". Try booting to the Mac OS install CD (or DVD) and when you get to the installer screen, find a menu at the top that allows you to open Disk Utility. Choose to repair disk. If it also cannot repair twice and get a clean bill of health, you have little else you can do except erase or initialize the drive, all data will be lost.
A long shot would be to put the hard drive in another Mac that can mount older ATA drives, as a secondary drive, and try to copy data from it. Eventually, the drive will need to be erased or initialized if you want to get it going again. Funny how a drive can finally get so corrupted that it can't do much at all and it gave no forewarning. Well, not really funny in the literal sense.

I run the lastest version of Mac OSX and need to run a php server from my computer...anyone know where i could find a legal server download that can handle php for macintosh (and a note to the Mac dissing trollers, i will report any flaming or "Mac sucks" banter that shows up, you have been warned!!)
Answer
Mac OSX Server edition should include PHP. Otherwise you are basically stuck installing unix ports, easiest way is from Fink, or try to find and compile a package designed for darwin.
