This happened to me on a Debian/unstable setup, too. However, since I've 
changed quite a lot on that machine, and it wasn't happening on another of
my machines, I just assumed I'd broken it somehow.

I decided to do a re-installation of OSX. At this point, I discovered that
while MOL would boot my old 10.3 CD quite happily, it was unable to boot
from a newer 10.3.5 CD (though installing 10.3.0 and updating to 10.3.5 via
Software Update did seem to work...)
