I'm assuming you tried the full reset (four times on the reset button in the back). If the system light is flashing more than three times a second (what it'd do when shutting down/rebooting) that means that the system is in panic mode. No joke...it says that in the system logs. Chances are an exception was raised somewhere and the system doesn't have a way to handle it. Since this is happening shortly after upgrading it sounds like the upgrade went wrong somewhere (bad checksum maybe). I'm not quite sure but being a 2000 and not a 2200 might make things a bit more difficult to repair. I'm relatively certain that the bulk of the OS is in one or more flash PROMS on the mobo. If they aren't soldiered on you might be able to reflash them. I haven't really gotten around to messing with a 2000 and OS v4 yet. My suggestion would be to do the hard reset first, then if the system finishes booting properly (system light flashes once/sec) quick try to get in with Assist and downgrade the OS. I have no idea how much help that is to anyone but I figured I'd throw in an idea just in case.
